It depends on the value you get from each size. Compare the costs and benefits of each option to decide what offers better value.

Grab two identical sticks for smooth dual-channel performance. Planning a fresh PC build? Let me know your budget and location.

This will mess up your performance, so make sure you have compatible capacity sticks.

2x8 offers the optimal choice in most scenarios. It provides dual channel operation and top performance. The only rare situation where 20GB could be preferable is when your task demands more than 16GB of RAM but less than 20GB, which I doubt will occur in real-world use. Even then, I recommend 24 (2x8 plus 2x4) or 32GB (2x16 or 4x8).

Likely just swap it out and sell the old RAM.
