In that case, you'd be right. Going from single channel to dual channel would probably provide you with a performance boost. Sorry. I tend to forget that laptops generally start out with just a single RAM module.

1) 16GB of RAM will only help you if you're currently running out of RAM. If your system only uses up to 6GB out of 8GB, then using 6GB out of 16GB won't make any difference.

2) If your system is running the OS and games from an SSD, that should speed things up.

3) Don't believe everything you see on YouTube. If they're not faking the numbers, they're using highly modified settings in Windows to reduce CPU/RAM usage.
