You need RAM compatible with your Intel Optane storage.
No, you don’t need extra RAM if you already have Intel Optane and it’s for a non-gaming PC.
Optane isn't RAM, so your system still requires regular memory.
Optane marketing often misleads many buyers. It's essentially a highly efficient storage solution for your system drives.
Optane sits between regular RAM and typical flash storage. It offers minimal delay, which makes it ideal when you require a powerful swap solution. You can't replace standard RAM entirely because of limited support, average speed, and expensive pricing. However, it works well as a conventional high-speed drive or occasionally as a memory booster in DIMM form, though this is mainly found in enterprise systems and isn't necessary for most users.
