One 32GB (4x8) Ram Kit or 2 16GB (2x8) Kit?

[Dr. Moose]

Is it fine if instead I get 2 kits of 16GB ram rather than one kit of 32GB? There's a sale on Corsair Pro RAM clocked at 2400MHz but only for 16GB kits... I thought I should just get 2 of those and save some dough. Wise or no?

[Scouten]

it should be fine as long as all of the dims can hit the same frequency

which ever is cheaper.. I don't really think you need 32gb's unless you're doing heavy video editing.

I do very heavy video editing, so 32GB is going to suit me very well

IF the dimms are similar, it should be fine. (same clock speeds, etc)

than whatever's cheaper.

Just get two 16GB kits, as long as they're the same it'll work. They'll still run in dual/quad channel. Only difference is that all four RAM modules aren't from the same batch to ensure that they work at the absolute optimal level like with a 4 x 8GB kit.
