I infamous_zack Dec 25, 2018 13 0 10 Jan 5, 2019 #1 I'm building a gaming PC based on Ryzen 5 processor. Right now I'm using a slow HyperX Fury 2666mhz 8gb ddr4. So should I sold the ram and get 8gb of fast ram or get another 8gb 2666mhz ram and make it dual channel?

Solution k1114 Jan 5, 2019 Both increase ram bandwidth. As dual channel doubles it, vs a higher speed just adding a little more, the choice is easily dual channel.
