Hi there,

I utilize my PC for music production --- and I keep running out of memory when I use certain plugins...

So, I am looking to increase RAM.

At the moment I have 16gb (Kingston HyperX Genesys - KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX)

My initial thought was to buy 16gb of the same RAM type - but I am finding out that 16gb of the same RAM cost as much or less than 32gb of another type/brand.


16gb Kingston HyperX - KHX1600C9D3K4/16GX --> £118

32gb Corsair Vengeance --> £110

What do you suggest I do?


I have a Asus Sabertooth X79 with an i7 3820


I also have a dual booth with a Hackingtosh that works very well -- and I would like that the new RAM I add to it allows for compatibility.


I appreciate any and all suggesting

Thanks,
Joao

 
Thanks for your quick reply!

In regards to which brand and model to buy - do you have any particular suggestions?

Besides the Corsair Vengence, I am also looking at:
- HyperX Savage 32 GB 1600 Mhz
- HyperX Beast 32 GB 1600Mhz


What do you say is the most appropriate? Also considering compatibility with Hackintosh

Thanks again
