Hello! The difference between 1x16GB and 2x8GB RAM for gaming is usually minimal. Most games perform well with either configuration, though having more RAM can help with multitasking or running demanding titles. It depends on the specific game and system.

It significantly reduces your bandwidth usage with a 1x16 setup. Using dual channels boosts performance by about 25-30%.

FPS improvements can be around 5 frames per second, but this doesn't show much in gameplay. The GPU handles most rendering tasks. Gains from dual-channel settings mainly boost overall system speed and multitasking.

It really varies by game. A few require single-channel settings, while others work fine. This advice is meant for laptops, though the idea remains the same.
