Is the 6GB dual channel? Can it be dual channel by adding another stick? Also is it expandable?

The 6GB of ram is comprised of 1x4GB and 1x2GB, and is expandable up to 8GB by replacing the 2GB stick with a 4GB stick. Hope this helps.

As stated above, it initially has a 4GB and 2GB module installed. However it maxes out at 16GB RAM (8 x 2). You can use 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I recommend the Crucial 16GB RAM kit from Amazon: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM Memory for Mac (CT2K8G3S160BM )

It is NOT dual channel. The Manual actually specifies that it has channel A and B. Therefore it is not dual channel, as i have purchased a 16gb kit and it is not running dual channel.

They only have 2 slots for memory, I know you can get 8 gb sticks, I don't know if there are 16 gb stick of memory available

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

yes, the product features two RAM slots that can support up to 8gb of ram each (16 gb total). The product comes with one 8 gb RAM stick, so to expand it, you only need to purchase one more 8 gb stick.

I bought the same 2G memory stick to upgrade but the slot doesn't match up...how did you get yours to work?

It supports up to 16gb of ram in each slot. You only need 1 RAM stick to have it work but using 2 will make it run faster.

We will need a little more information like what are you inserting this into? Also does the system board that you are using this on expand to 32GB? Maybe 16 is its max.

It's dual channel, so you'll get a speed boost by using 2 but you don't have to. 1 stick will work. Recommend 2 though

If it said 4GB Single then it's only one stick in the pack but If the discription said 4GB(2x2GB), then it will be two sticks of 2GB memory for a total of 4GB. This one is only one 4GB so it's packaged correctly

Yes it is expandable to 32 GB of RAM, but make sure you get the exact same type and speed of memory that is already in it, which in mine is DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)

Basically out of the box..this notebook has Slot 'ChannelA-DIMM0' has 4096 MBSlot 'ChannelA-DIMM1' is EmptySlot 'ChannelB-DIMM0' has 4096 MB (serial number xxxx2019)Slot 'ChannelB-DIMM1' is EmptySo with two empty slots my initial thought is yeah if you matched up the same memory sticks...there are two more slots available.

It will work fine in a dual channel motherboard as long as you have another memory stick, as each stick operates on a seperate channel.

Each stick is 2 GB for a total of 4 GB, if your motherboard supports dual channel memory then yes, if it don't then you would just run single channel memory but use both sticks, I hope I didn't confuse you, either way you can use these memory sticks if your motherboard supports it, be sure to check the voltage as some motherboards are not very flexible about it.

imI'm not sure if the memory is expandable, I refuse to purchase anything else for this item!

Yes it's expandable only up to 12 GB. It comes with two slots - a slot with 4 GB soldered into the motherboard and a slot with 2 GB that can be removed. I ended up removing that 2 GB RAM and putting in a Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM ($72 on Amazon Warehouse Deals) chip in it. Works great. The original 2 GB chip was ADATA brand. As long as the speeds match, then there should be no problem mixing RAM of different capacity/size.

Yep its upgradeable to 8gb for a total of 12gb. Samsung says the max is 8gb but thats not really the case. I dont think they make 1x16gb sticks for this model.

To be sure I checked my manual and it indicates that it IS dual channel, so yes two sticks would be the minimum.
