I have a laptop that has 1x4gb 2400 of ram and is running really bad and slow, it has two slots.
I can either go for dual channel now and get another 4gb stick making it 8gb or get a single 8gb stick (12gb single channel for now) and replace the 4gb later to achieve 16gb.
Is it recommended that I go for 16gb instead of 8? Is there such a thing as ram bottleneck?
I already have a good pc with an r5+rx 580+ 16gb ram so this is just an on the go backup/work device. I'm going to be using it for light gaming, light video editing (mostly 1080p), photoshop, lightroom, illustrator, web browsing (chrome), and media consumption.
