    At the moment I still have single channel (2GB DDR3). However, I am considering upgrading to dual channel (2x2GB DDR3) as prices on DDR3 have finally dropped.

    I was hoping to run in mixed dual channel mode (1x2GB, 1x4GB), but 4GB DDR3 DIMMs are almost 10 times more expensive than 2GB DDR3 DIMMs.

    You could just go to a hardware store too. But I usually don't have that much problem with screws...
