To get 12 gb of ram requires mismatched ram.
They come in 1-2-4-8-16gb sticks, and only usually have 4 ports. Some boards have more though.
It's not that uncommon, especially on laptops. Also, you can get 4 sticks of 4GB RAM and have one with a flaw so you take it out. Granted, I don't think anyone would buy 4x4GB RAM for a setup that might actually run this game, or if it would run on any laptop while we're at it.
Using a single stick is worse, you lose the dual memory capacity. They are meant to be used in pairs. And at the speed of the worst stick as well.
Computers aren't designed or meant to operated that way, so it will never be a requirement or specification.
Laptops with 12gb use an 8 and a 4 stick, losing all dual memory capacity. They are cheap, and make a worse product for it. Just use 2x8.
Not completely accurate. Most modern systems support asynchronous dual channel. Providing dual channel operation up to the smaller RAM capacity with the remaining RAM running in single-channel. Also “computers aren’t designed or meant to be operated that way” is a fabrication - they operate just fine, just with reduced performance. In RAM starved situations it’s still better to have single-channel than nothing at all.
Edit: poor dude downvoted me for correcting him. What a sad existence.
