I'm inquiring about the most ancient hardware I've used as my primary PC from 2020 up to now. My setup includes a Xeon X5680 running on an EVGA X58 SLI3 with 26GB of DDR3 memory (1066-1333) and a GTX 1650 in a Cooler Master Centurion 5.

26GB of RAM? how did you get it? Even your slow (by today's standards) Xeon is much quicker than the only "gaming computer" I owned. It was an old laptop from 2017 that I attempted to use for gaming (it was the sole machine I had back then) with an Intel Celeron N3350, 4GB of DDR3 and Intel HD 500 graphics. It handled fast-paced Roblox games at 3 fps, and could barely run Minecraft even with Optifine. Then in 2022, I upgraded to an i5-6500 and RX 550, which made a big difference. For the first time I was able to play Fortnite. Later in July 2023 I upgraded again (realizing my RX 550 wouldn't run Jedi Survivor, let alone Fortnite's performance) to my current setup.

I don't really use the term "daily drive," but the systems that keep running smoothly are Dell Optiplex models with 3770 or 4670 CPUs. I believe the first one is a 9010? At home, the oldest ones are an i5 8400 and an 8th generation laptop. Not especially impressive when you consider how far back they are.

The motherboard accommodates up to 26GB, matching the CPU capacity. My setup includes an 8GB stick of 1600, two 4GB sticks of 1333, and one 8GB stick of 1333 to 1600. Everything is combined in a mixed configuration. I also have G.skill, Dell RAM, and some Ballist X RAM.

Does it continue to provide the advantage of quad-channel memory?

Additionally, Hexa channel memory is available.

I'm really puzzled about this. I thought hexa channel memory wasn't something I'd hear about, and I didn't realize it could mean more than just four sticks of RAM. It's confusing how that would translate to six channels.

Ah, sorry for the mix-up. I own six sticks, including four Dell RAM and two 1600 Ballist X and G.Skill models.

The performance advantage compared to quad channel memory remains under evaluation, with ongoing assessments of its impact.

I believe the issue stems from the mention of 26 GB, which seems highly improbable. The sum of 8, 4, 4, and 8 equals 24, not 26, which likely caused the misunderstanding.
