Hey everyone, I'm looking for guidance on selecting RAM for my laptop. It currently has 4GB of 2133MHz DDR4 15-15-15-35 timing RAM. If I can't find matching specs, will adding an 8GB stick with the same speed help? Would using dual channel make it faster than the 8GB but still be dual channel? Also, can I enable dual channel mode by using four out of the eight sticks (for a Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15s)?
The numbers at 2133MHz seem typical for standard JEDEC specifications. You don’t need to match every timing exactly; they’ll adapt to the slowest component. Pairing an 8GB stick with a 4GB one isn’t optimal—better to use two 8GB sticks, though 4GB and 8GB should still function, especially in dual-channel where one channel handles twice the amount, leaving about 66% effective usage.
