[QUOTE="Smudge_6, post: 1421353, member: 260427"] Hello, In my experience of RAM upgrades - you will always get the best results equal partitions between the two sticks. My assumption is that you have two RAM slots each capable of holding 8gb: if you want to upgrade fully i would get 2x compatible 8gb RAM Sticks as opposed to mix and matching. If you want to just upgrade to 8gb - i would do the same with 2x4gb sticks but keep them the same brand and type. Someone please correct meif i am wrong but the access speed of the RAM is faster for those with higher numbers which i think denotes 'better' spec hardware. Hope this helps Chris [/QUOTE]
