    Quad channel only sounds good on paper. In practice, it offers no real tangible benefits for gaming over dual channel.
    Believe it or not, there is no difference between single channel and dual channel memory in most scenarios either.

    DDR4's benefits over DDR3 atm are dubious too. (Especially when price is considered)

    Haha yeah, that's why I used the word "Appreciate" as more from a hardware enthusiast perspective.

    Definitely, due to both the 4790k and 6700k both having much stronger per-core performance.
