Consider your needs and budget. If you want more storage and better performance, go for 16GB with faster RAM. If you're on a tighter budget or need less space, 32GB at 3600MHz might still work well.

What technology are you using? The 4000MHz frequency could be overkill, and a 3600MHz clock speed is quite efficient for memory.

It relies on the processor speed. What are you looking for?

Check if your motherboard can handle it. A 3600MHz RAM with good timing works well, but we should confirm the specific board you have.

2x16GB offers more value, the Ryzen will still cap at 3800, so a 32GB setup is probably dual-core too, which could be about 10% better overall.

ideal configuration is 4x8 or 2x16; I suggest 4x8 to guarantee a dual ranked arrangement.

It varies by motherboard; my ASRock B450 doesn't support slots 1 and 3 beyond 3066MHz, uwu
