Hi guys and girls^^.
Due to the fact that I want to create my first FreeNAS machine next month I was wondering if I should rather get 2 4 GB ECC RAM Sticks or 1 8 GB ECC Stick? Normally in a Windows environment you would go for 2 Sticks but in the end this would either "limit" me to 16 GB RAM where as when I use one 8 GB Stick I'm able to upgrade to 32 GB later on without "wasting" my money on 2 4 GB Sticks.
So the question is will using only one RAM Stick limit the performance and if so, by how much?
