I was considering enhancing my Dell XPS 9500 with 32GB of RAM instead of the current 8GB, especially since the i7-10yada-yada-yada processor plays a role. The main task involves running multiple virtual machines using VMware for Cisco networking practice. The suggestion comes from another person. I understand that the recommended amount is 3200MT/s, but the laptop might lower it anyway, so it's just a matter of interpretation.

It isn't a major issue if you skip the higher frequency RAM. But if possible, you should, since it doesn't add much extra expense.

Even without running it at its quicker pace, it will remain more stable.

It’s only $18 for something you’ll need for several years ahead. That sounds reasonable to me.
