They just released their Ryzen 5000 lineup. I've been eager for this and can finally assemble my PC. I'm thinking 32 GB total. Should I pick 4x8 GB or 2x16 GB? Also, using a B550 chipset seems right.

This setup suggests a gaming rig. If you require more memory, 2x16GB could handle it better than 4x8GB on typical systems.

I mean 2x16GB, not 4x8.

I believed there was a strict guideline to use 2x big versus 4x small in RAM, consistently for all times including Sundays.

I’d choose the 4x8GB option.
