Should i get 2 more sticks of ram?

[poggers_73]

Right now i have 16gigs (8x2). Should i buy two more sticks to get 32gigs? Pc specs: Ryzen 9 5900x, rtx 4060, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz, msi b550m pro

 

 

edit: also 16 more gigs would cost $50 cad

If you run short of RAM when gaming/working, buy it

Else why ?

It won't increase memory bandwidth as the board and CPU are only dual channel. It'll give you more capacity though' and only you know if you need that.

There is a legitimate performance benefit to 4x8 over 2x8 outside of "moar".

For what purpose do you want the memory?

Not sure why people are discouraging you, 32GB is highly recommended these days as games are getting bigger.

 

There are potential pitfalls with adding more sticks if they don't match the same timings as the ones you already have though, but it usually works okay so long as they are a close match.
