I bought a HP Probook 450 G6 recently and it comes with 4GB DDR4 RAM. I plan to add a 16GB stick in the other channel and I am aware the board supports a maximum memory of 32GB RAM.
I did some research on having different RAM sizes and I found out that Intel's FLEX MEMORY feature allows different memory sizes to be installed such that in a case like this 4GB on channel A and 4 GB on channel B runs in dual-channel mode while the other 12GB from channel B works in single-channel mode.
I would like to know if there are any issues that may be encountered with this setup. Kindly share your experience.
I don't want to add 2 * 8GB as this would require me to get rid of the 4GB unnecessarily. Besides, if I want to upgrade later, I would have to get rid of atleast one of the 8GB sticks. I also don't want to add 2 * 16GB now due to cost constraints.
