Single channel or dual channel options available.
I reviewed the settings and noticed your CPU has dual 16GB RAM, but the 4GB module runs at 1667 MHz instead of the expected 3200 MHz. This could be due to memory controller configuration or driver settings.
Laptops use specific speeds for RAM, so if your device originally had 2666mhz memory, you could consider that its performance limit is reached.
Your laptop only has two memory slots, one for each channel. Unless it’s a unique model, most laptops feature just one or two slots (the latter being non-removable and soldered). The total data available from both channels equals the capacity in dual-channel mode—such as 4 GB on one and 16 GB on the other, giving you 8 GB when both are used together. Each slot can only handle a single frequency range; dual-channel operation requires matching speeds. For example, if one stick supports up to 2666 MHz and another up to 3200 MHz, they’ll both run at 2666 MHz. In practice, actual speeds are lower due to the way DDR memory is marketed.
