Currently, I have

Kingston value 4gb 1Rx8 Pc3 1600mhz 1.5 v and sk hynix 2gb 1Rx8 Pc3 1600mhz 1.5v. in Lenovo m92p sff.

I was planning to buy 8gb single stick to make 14gb ram in total.
Then, I learn about dual channel and I was what!!! Did research to confirm which is better 4gbx2 vs 8gb single stick vs ...

Then, I learn about to check your ram for PC3 and 1Rx8 , 2Rx8 1Rx16. Now, I was totally lost. 😱😱
I got the PC3 part n it's volts 1.5 vs 1.25.
But 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 ? Here the confusing begin.

I understand it is single rank and dual rank, but which is better and which to use with existing ram.
Gaming, workload, internet are the usage.
Should I buy sk hynix or Samsung (if lucky Kingston) in used 1Rx8 single 4gb stick or
Change my existing 4gb and buy two 4gb 2Rx8 PC3.
Will I see increase in performance, fps, loading?
