Probably best to see what the specs are for the stick you have to make sure throughput is not compromised and bottlenecking between the two. But I'm fuzzy on that so I'll defer.

My wife just said to not be a dumbass and get a 16GB upgrade since it's so cheap.
So I guess that's the decision too. Also, I'll order an anti-static wrist band just to be safe. Last edited by lewdog; 06-17-2021 at 07:13 AM.. |

Have an SSD drive installed and, along with the 16GB of RAM, you'll think you bought a new computer.

I had an engineer buddy show me how to do my first build 5 years ago. I got a wrist band. He laughed at it. Touch the case to ground off and you’re good to go.

This, I've put together so many rigs through the years and never used a band. Just ground yourself and your good to go.

I never have. I just take off my shoes. But I've also fried a brand new processor as a result one time. We don't see a lot of static electricity out here. But Monsoon season started yesterday and there were dry thunderstorms in the valley.

The only time I've ever worn a wrist strap is when I'm in a data center.
