Well, thanks for the correction
So, how does it work? If i use 4x1Gb sticks, the 3 of them work in tripple channel and the last one works "on its own"? Or does it somehow "divide" the performance gains from the tripple channel sticks and have all four of them running at an in-between speed?

no thier will be no in between speed, each stick will be running at full DDR3 speeds, however if you had two sticks only you would loose some performance.. you just need 3+ sticks and your good to go the motherboard uses the data from the 3 and the 1 and all 4 sticks will run in triple Chanel just sending the info all to the same controller and motherboard sorts the data.. like i said the motherboard now must do just a little more work to process the data, so maybe it sucks up an other watt and runs a 1C hotter,but no no loss in performance (only on intel motherboards) so yup all 4 gigs running at triple channel.. enjoy!
