Hey! Comparing the two setups: 4x16GB DDR5 at 6400MHz versus 2x16GB DDR5 at 6400MHz with an i7-12700K. The performance difference mainly comes from the CPU and memory speed, not just the stick count.

Occasionally, only in specific cases. 64GB, 48GB, and 96GB options exist in 2-DIMM setups.

I see, I need to clarify whether 2 sticks weighing 32 grams each would be preferable to having 4 sticks totaling 64 grams.

Two sticks perform better than four in terms of compatibility. The choice between 32GB and 64GB hinges on your specific needs. For basic gaming, light editing, and streaming—common tasks many people handle on their desktops—32GB typically suffices.

Usually yes, but I ran out of all 16GB of RAM while watching a video and playing BeamNG.Drive together. For gaming, I’d suggest going up to 32GB now.

No one is proposing 16GB as a viable option. DDR5 isn't recommended for purchase in 16GB packages unless you're aware of the potential performance drawbacks.

I wanted to confirm with you because you mentioned 32GB are sufficient, which I interpreted as "good, but not necessary." That’s mostly accurate—just avoid a poor experience.
