RAM upgrade

[LordShrine]

Hi, all!

 

I have a PC for mostly gaming, and over the years, I've run into the problem of the memory running out more and more often. I already have a Kingston Fury 16GB (2x8) and I was wondering if it's worth it to buy the same RAM to have a total of 32GB (4x8) or should I turn to swapping the current set of RAM to a 32GB (2x16) dual slot?

Does Quad-memory affect the speed or endurance or consistency?

 

Thank you for answering.

Is it DDR4 or DDR5? If it's DDR4 you can buy another 2x8GB stick for sure (as long as you stick to under 3600 MT/s), but for DDR5 it's very much a YMMV situation depending on your speed, CPU, and mobo. Your full specs would be helpful.

Thank you. I have a DDR4 and would stick to the same RAM (Kingston FURY Beast, which is 3200 MT/s)

I would HIGHLY rec going for 3600 MT and also, given how cheap ram is, I'd go 2x16 rather than 4x8
