I possess an i5 8250u laptop equipped with a Radeon 540 GPU, 256GB NVMe SSD, and a 1TB HDD. It features two RAM slots, including one free slot. You mentioned needing more RAM—options are either 4GB + 4GB or 4GB + 8GB. Let me know your preference.

Prefer an 8GB configuration whenever possible. Even if only 8GB is available, it should run in dual-channel mode, with the extra 4GB operating in single-channel. This setup remains superior to running out of RAM and having to allocate space on the storage drive.

You managed to make it through with just 4GB so far? I’d aim for 4 plus 4GB and dual-channel, totaling 8GB. Your GPU won’t use up all that space, and your GPU will also perform better.
