Hey guys,
so I wanted to upgraid the ram in my pc, I had 2x4 gb and wanted to have 16. I read on this forum and everywhere on the internet that mixing different kind of sticks was a bad idea. So i decided to just buy 2 new 8 gb sticks. Now my question is. I saw that sometimes mixing works and sometimes it doesn't. Can it do any harm to check if they work when i use them all four? I'm happy with 16gb at the moment but seeing that i have 24gb laying around I might aswell check it out? And if I do use them all is there anyway I can see if it is giving me worse performance than with 2x8? Thanks in advance!
