I've been thinking about my computer, and it has 16 GB of RAM, which is not limiting my other components but it seems to be the bare minimum these days. I've been considering upgrading (purely considering) one of the slots from a 8 GB stick to a 16 GB stick, so I would have 24 GB for better video editing and game performance
Any thoughts?
Definitely no downside. Also, you might as well buy another 16gb stick and have 32gb. Then sell the old 8gb ones on eBay to make up the money. But ram isn’t that expensive.
After more research, it seems that indeed getting a 32 GB kit is worth it. The thing is, the stuff for my laptop is convoluted (MSI raider GE76 12UE) and some places say ddr4, others ddr5, but mine are running at 4800 MHz so I'm assuming they're ddr5. The biggest question is do I upgrade it myself?
upgrade yourself, it’s pretty easy
Okay. I'll see if I actually upgrade though lol
