Hey all,
I recently upgraded my computer's internal parts. I currently have 16gb of ram and I'm finding that I'm in need of some more ram. It's a shame because I just purchased the x4 8gb kit a little over a month ago. I'm trying to figure out what is the best directions to increase my computer's ram. Should I opt for removing the current ram I have and replacing it with x2 16gb of ram sticks, or just add another 2 sticks to what I currently have? I just want to put in the most efficient ram kit that the computer could benefit from. That is my primary concern.
I was reading on this forum several different opinions on how the ram is utilized by AMD. I understand my motherboard is not quad channel. I just can't come to the conclusion if for my AMD specifically it'll be more efficient to use 2 slots vs 4.
Here is what I currently have:
