It is a single-rank model.

You're seeing two kits available (4x8GB). It's recommended to use 2 units of dual-ranked RAM or 4 units of single-ranked RAM in your system. Are you looking for the specific DRAM type or SRAM type? You might want to consider a 2x16GB kit if needed.

It might work as dual rank, but it's likely single rank. I wouldn't change anything unless you require extra space.

Set up CPU-Z, it will provide the information.

Single or double ranking isn't significant enough to make any changes now that we already have the setup. Then some thought.

CPU-Z will tell you for sure but I'm 100% sure they'll be single rank. Dual rank 8GB modules haven't existed for a very long time (last one I got was in 2015). Even 16GB modules have moved towards single rank for some time. OP is running 4x8GB so that is as good as it gets already.

Using two 8GB modules in single-row configuration isn't recommended for optimal performance.

Are you confirming the 4x8GB setup? Using 2x8GB might slightly reduce performance, though it shouldn’t be an issue if storage isn’t an obstacle.

You're using a 4x8GB configuration, which is perfect.

This second 2X8GB package remains eligible for a refund, and you're weighing this configuration against a 2X16GB option.

If the kits function properly, you can smoothly run XMP/DOCP without issues, and there have been no problems encountered so far, irrespective of the configuration level. However, most 8GB kits are typically single-rank; I believe there were some early DDR4 8GB dual-rank options, and certain ECC server-grade models can also support dual-rank at 8GB. Unless this RAM is from a different era, you should have four single-rank modules.
