I Own a HP Pavilion p6710f Desktop PC from 2011.
I would like to upgrade to 16gb of DDR3 Ram. Should i use (x4 - 4GB Sticks) or just (x2 - 8GB Sticks) ?
I dont know if my PC is Dual Channel Memory or Quad Channel Memory. HELP PLZ?
Here is photos of my RAM slots - x2 Blue, x2 Black, & The 2 Original Ram Sticks

It does have dual channels on its motherboard as you can see it has 2 blue slots and 3 black slots: you have to install in pair (1 black and 1 blue) on the right positions.
Machine is too old, I can't find its original specs but you have to use 4GB x 4 to install on 2 black slots and 2 blue slots to get 16GB max.
Regards.
