Installing more RAM modules Expanding your system's memory capacity by adding additional RAM sticks.
I’m the same computer I use. It has two 8GB drives already installed in four slots. If I add another two drives for a total of 32GB, and they’re different models, the best method is to place them in the same order: old, old, new, new. This keeps the layout consistent and avoids confusion.
If possible, could you clarify why you need 32GB? Are you working with video editing or any tasks that demand significant memory? Usually, mixing RAM modules isn't advised as it can cause problems or prevent startup. Even identical parts from the same brand may vary, so buying them together is better.
I don’t require it. There aren’t any immediate plans to include more. It’s just a thought I’ve had without a clear solution.
Refer to your board's user guide; layouts can vary by model. A1 B2 indicates the connection type, for example.
Doesn't make a difference. A CPU's integrated memory controller can only run at a single speed. If you mix different sticks, it'll run them at the lowest common speed and highest common latency. As was said, there's no guarantee it'll work. It should, but it also might not.
