No because you refer to the whole as "memory" regardless of how many stick there are.

Which is also why you say more RAM or less RAM, not RAMs.

More memory or less memory.

 

Same with storage.

You have more storage or less storage, not storages.

 

If you talk about the individual sticks then it would be correct to say DIMMs, because there are multiple.

Yes. You can't address storage as one or two. It's more or less.

Same with RAM. There's a word for it.... TOMT

Personally I would treat RAM like rice.

You don't buy 1 rice or 2 rice, you buy one or two packet of rice, or a certain weight of rice.

Same with RAM. You're buying a kit of RAM, or a capacity of RAM, but not 'a RAM'.

 

To me, the correct wording there would have been "RAM kits" or something like that.

But that raises the question.. A single stick of RAM, is that still a kit 🤔

FTFY

In real life, I act like I know less about tech than I actually do.

 

Main build: CPU: AMD Phenom ii X4 955 Black Edition @ 4,0GHz (Cooler Master 212) | GPU: MSI RX580 8Gb | RAM: 12Gb DDR3 | PSU: Chieftec CTB-500S  | Mobo: Asus M4A87TD/USB3 | Storage: Seagate 500Gb HDD

Yes, I'm aware my CPU is a huge bottleneck. No, I don't really care.

 

Laptop: Asus TUF FX505DT 60Hz 8Gb model
