ASUS Q304UAK with Intel Core i5 7200 OU at 2.5 GHZ, 6GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB Samsung SATA-3 SSD drive about half full, Windows 10 Home Premium, updates current.
I tried to upgrade from 6 GB RAM DDR4-2133 to 20 GB RAM (only one slot available) by replacing the 2GB factory installed Samsung with a 16GB Hynix DDR4-2400. My benchmark performance declined. Boot up and running programs is not noticeably different.
Here are links to the benchmarks, both run earlier today:
6GB RAM:

20 GB RAM:

I don't understand why performance hasn't improved. Would pairing the built-in 4GB with a 4GB removable chip and/or using DDR4-2133 instead of DDR4-2400 speed things up? Same question with an 8GB chip?
And does the chip speed or manufacturer make a difference?
Thanks in advance.
