I have a single DDR4 4GB RAM (2400 MHz, OCed at 2733MHz) on my Gigabyte A320M-S2H. The processor is AMD Athlon 200GE.

Beside regular desktop work sometimes I play FIFA 15 (newer versions are not supported!) or PUBG Mobile on emulator but on iGPU with 4GB RAM it's really painful.

So I was thinking about getting an extra RAM.

1. Is putting an 8GB beside that 4GB possible or will they create problems?

2. And if possible, can I overclock them both at 2666 or 2733 MHz so that I can get some juice from that VEGA 3??

1)possible and possible
2)possible

Thank you, but can you help me out on what to look for when purchasing an 8 GB RAM? Like frequency or latency? I don't have much knowledge and all these YouTube videos are confusing me, saying different latency etc will create more problems than helping the system run more smoothly.
