You're right, having four identical DIMMs allows it to use dynamic paging
mode, which provides some increment in performance. But from their
description, it sounds like a small benefit compared to the huge gain you
get when going from a 64-bit to a 128-bit data path. Just having matched
pairs is enough for that. I certainly didn't notice any slowdown when I
added the second pair, although I didn't run any memory benchmarks.
