Which one is better ? Single Stick or Multi

Hi,

I'm currently using 2x4gb ram 1333mhz and was wondering if i replaced it with a 1x8gb 1600mhz ram stick ?

would it make any differences?

Dual channel is better, but 1600mhz is better.

Little to no difference, you are only doing it to make room for upgrades later.

 

If you have room to buy and place in your system 2 more 2x4gb sticks to match your first ones and upgrade from 8gb to 16gb. after that you pretty much don't have to worry about ram ever again.
