I am upgarding my CPU from Intel to AMD. My new mobo says that it has 2 DIMM slots. https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=992
However the RAM I am looking to buy is UDIMM https://www.lexar.com/product/lexar-ddr4-3200-2666-udimm-desktop-memory/
Will these two be compatible with each other? Also do you think this RAM is fine on a budget? Also also I am looking to buy 16GB RAM but Lexar does not offer a 16GB RAM kit. So if I separately buy two 8GB sticks they will work with each other right?
Thanks in advance

The ram should work.
You might have problems with 2 sticks that don't come in a kit.
Make sure you can return them.

If you buy 2 separate sticks as in 2 packages it might and might not work. The question has no 100% answer.
