Hello. You're looking to increase your RAM capacity. Your current setup uses an 8GB DDR4 stick, and you're considering a 2-pack to reach 16GB. The new RAM options available locally are typically between 2666MHz and 4000MHz. Your existing components—A320 motherboard, Ryzen 5 1600, and Radeon RX 570—should support higher frequencies, but it depends on compatibility with your motherboard's memory controller and power delivery. Upgrading now could be feasible if you check specifications for your board and ensure the new RAM matches the supported speed range. If you're unsure, waiting might be safer until you can upgrade other parts like the CPU or GPU.

Identify your specific motherboard model and manufacturer since RAM speed compatibility varies by brand and design.

Which is 2660 MT/s. So probably you have 2666 MT/s RAM That's MT/s speed, not MHz. In MHz is 1333 - 2000. What's the brand and model of your current RAM and the brand and model of the 2666 RAM in the shop?

The motherboard is an Asrock a320m-hdv r4.0, and the RAM is a Kingston Fury. In the store I found Kingston Fury, G.Skill Aegis, Corsair Vengeance, Patriot Viper, and some lesser-known brands. The options look like Kingston Fury Beast, DDR4, 16 GB, 2666MHz, CL16. My 2666MHz-4000MHz meant I could pick any RAM with a frequency in that range. I don’t know the exact MT/s speed, but the CPU-Z lists my "core frequency" as 1330MHz.
