8 gigs now 16 later?

[Prowlin]

Can't afford 16 now but if I get a 2x4 set now and then another 2x4 set in the future will I run into any issues? I don't think there will be but I want to make sure

1x8

[Mohenjo]

nope, shouldnt be any issues as long as its the same ddr

[minibois]

Yes.

That is a good plan

[Coombzy]

To be on the safe side make sure to get the same kit but yes it will work fine.

There should be no problems just make sure the ram is the same, i did 1x8 then added another 1x8 stick later and there is no problems running a single stick if you want to. The actual upgrade shouldnt have any problems but check the ram is being seen in the Bios after upgrading it.

1x8

No 1x8 is very inefficient 2x4 is much better

[Enderman]

yup that will work

[blueballs]

or you could go with x1 8gb and add another x1 8gb and another one and another one, I mean who knows what will happen with ram in the future...

[Blackie Sheen]

It should be perfectly fine as long as the same frequency and the timings are the same . For example, if the ram you pick up now is clocked at 1866 mHz and as a timing of 9-9-9-27 than the other should also be clocked at 1866 mHz and have a timing of 9-9-9-27. In the end, it doesnt need to be the same exact ram it just needs those 2 parametersto be the same

Not true. With 1x8 you can upgrade to 32gb if you need to and the performance boost because of dual channel is negligible

Just make sure CL & MHz is same but do not forget voltage! 1600MHz + CL9 should be easy to find!
