When you fully use your RAM, performance may drop as the CPU has to work harder accessing drives through slower interfaces. This can slow down overall speed since controllers and flashing processes become more involved. In contrast, a dedicated SSD or HDD can handle direct access more efficiently.
This depends on how your system manages memory. With dual-channel configuration, the total capacity is split across both channels. Using 16GB would likely utilize both channels simultaneously, allowing the system to efficiently use the available memory without overloading a single channel.
It's slightly different from what we see. Imagine it's a consumer CPU with two memory channels. Each channel handles data separately, effectively doubling the bandwidth. The amount of data stored will rely on its origin—whether it comes from an 8 gigabit stick or another source.
