Two 8GB drives—definitely quicker. Did you check this before?

Which platform are you using? I’d just get 32GB while you handle it. 2x16GB. Plus 16GB could soon be the minimum for never playing games.

2x8GB offers improved speed, though the difference isn't huge because 8GB DIMMs provide roughly 60% of the performance of 16GB DIMMs. Still, with DDR5 technology, if you can't justify 2x16GB, it might not be worth the upgrade. A 2x16GB configuration running at 4800 MHz will outperform a 2x8GB model at 5600 MHz.

If feasible, I suggest opting for 32 GB storage. Two 16 GB units should suffice initially, and you can upgrade later with the same configuration if needed.

Get all 2 sticks right now for quicker performance, but ideally aim for 2 sticks with 16GB each to reach 32GB total. We'll likely learn what's best for newer titles soon.
