Hello, your laptop (Predator Helios 317-55) shows 8 RAM slots in Taskmanager, HWinfo, and CPU-Z. The mainboard (HM570) supports only 2 slots, and the processor (i7 11800H) also has 2 slots. Your brother's machine matches this information as well. I checked mine but couldn't see the details, so I'm wondering if you know more about this configuration. Let me know! Thanks for your help!

seldom a board exceeds four slots, while desktops usually hold just two. A dual-sided ram could lead to unusual output in your task manager.

It offers just two openings. Having more than four is rare for gadgets, and laptops typically limit themselves to two. Room is tight in a laptop, after all.

Are you certain there are two slots on each side, or is that a misunderstanding?

I haven't come across an 8-slot RAM laptop before; that amount of space would be quite valuable in a device!
