If i want 64gb of Ram, can i just buy 2 orders of 32 GB?

If i want to run 64gb of ram in my system, do i need to buy the "64gb" pack of ram? or can i just buy 2 seperate orders of 32 gb?

The reason i ask is because choosing the option for 64gb (4 sticks) is quite a bit more expensive than if i were to just choose 32gb(4 sticks), and buy 2 orders of that.. Are they manufactured to be specifically used in certain capacaities? or can i save myself some money and just buy 2 things of 32gb

Yeah it shouldn't be an issue if you choose to buy 2 orders of 2 x 16 GB RAM instead of a 4 x 16 GB of RAM to get to 64 GB. Some people will argue that if you want 100% compatibility you should get the 4 x 16 GB kit, but I have not had issues upgrading RAM before, especially of the same model and manufacturer.

You could, but you will have more trouble getting them to work and play well with others. The reason the 4 sticks of 16gb kit is more expensive is because they are tested so that they match and therefore are more likely to work than t 2x16gb kits.
