You're choosing between two RAM sizes for your gaming rig. The 32 GB option offers faster access with shorter delays, while the 64 GB provides more memory but may have slightly slower performance. The timing specs indicate how quickly data moves, so the 64 GB might handle more tasks smoothly. Consider your workload and budget to decide what fits best.

It depends on your plans for using it. If you're mainly playing games, you won't need more than 32Gb.

When the mainboard only allows dual-channel RAM, buying two 16 GB sticks is more cost-effective than four 8 GB sticks, and both provide the same performance.

I'll work on a 20-minute video editing project. (Resolution: 4K and 5.3K)

Both options seem to be at risk. Are you restricted to these choices? If not, you might use a 2x16 setup and later upgrade to 64 gigabits if necessary. Video editing relies heavily on project size.

You probably won’t be able to achieve 4600MHz just by turning on XMP. These products are only tested on certain boards and rely on your CPU having a top-notch memory controller. If the price is similar, opt for the 64GB version… or choose a slower 32GB option if you don’t need the extra capacity.

If you don’t have enough real-world data on RAM speed during your post-processing steps... 1: If you believe 32 is sufficient, opt for something with improved timing. This will boost your IPC since the CPU won’t idle as long on RAM with higher latency. 2: Stay cautious... Choose the 64G model with superior timing. That’s the winning choice.
