[SOLVED] More Ram Than usable

[Joseph Parkhurst]

So I'm wanting to upgrade my ram to 16Gb on my existing rig that's running windows 7. I really like the XPG Spectrix D80 Liquid-Cooled RGB RAM and want to use 4 sticks for aesthetic reasons. Since they only come in 8Gb sticks that would give me 32Gb, 16Gb more than what windows 7 can use but would be usable in the future when I upgrade my OS. I know it will show 32Gb installed with only 16Gb usable but what I would like to know is will having twice the memory than what the OS can use cause any performance issues?

Nope you'll be fine, windows will not see at all and not run the additional 16.
