In a dual-channel setup, 16GB split between two modules offers more memory bandwidth compared to 8GB across four modules. This can improve performance, especially for memory-intensive tasks, because dual channels allow data to be transferred simultaneously. The difference is noticeable in gaming and multitasking scenarios.
This setup would work better since four sticks may overload the memory controller. Avoid using a dual-channel motherboard.
From what I recall, four sticks of one rank are about the same as two sticks of another rank, meaning the difference might be negligible.
