Hello! You're considering two options for your PC speed: 20Gb at 1333MHz or 16Gb at 1600MHz. I was curious which would be faster. Also, you mentioned upgrading from 8Gb (4x2) at 1333MHz to 16Gb (2x8) at 1600MHz in the past, and now you're thinking about increasing your capacity with slower speeds. Thanks for sharing!

Are there any titles that require an additional 4GB? Otherwise, 16GB at 1600 will offer better performance.

I think the 1600 offers a small edge. If you exceed 16gbs, I’d stick with 20gb. At those rates the gap should remain minimal unless there’s a compatibility issue between the speed settings.

Thank you, I'll retain the 16 and keep the older items secured if needed
