Upgrading my Ram

[Contesting]

I want to add another 8gb of ram to my pc, but i dont know if it is as simple as it seems. Can i just stick the 2 ram sticks into the mobo and boot up my pc? Do i need to mess with the bios or update anything?

RAM can be finicky. Mixing kits is not recommended unless you already have both kits to try it because it isn't guaranteed to work. It is best to replace your RAM with a new, larger kit than to extend it with another similar kit. Once you have the new RAM installed, you can try selling your old RAM. RAM tends to hold its value better than most other components anyway.

You do not need to change any BIOS settings or anything like that. Its as easy as removing the old RAM and popping in the new RAM.
