What is better, 32gb of RAM with one bar or 16 with two?

Question

RAM

Greetings. I want to change the RAM on my laptop (it supports it), now there are 2 x 8 ram bars. I found a variant of RAM, 1 to 32. Tell me, which is better 2 to 8 or one to 32? And is it possible, for example, to take 2 bars for 32?

Answer 1

You can 2x32 if the laptop supports it. The question is why do you need so much RAM ...
Faster, usually 2 bars, if there is enough RAM. If there is not enough, then 1 more will be faster

Answer 2

Read the memory controller specification.
If it supports 2-channel mode, then it is better to put 2 bars.
Also read the manual, as a rule there are compatible module models and their sizes.
As for 2x32, I doubt it. In mobile solutions, there is often a limit of a maximum of 32

Answer 3

1 by 32 is better than 2 by 8, as a rule (simply due to the fact that volume is often more important than speed)
2 by 32 is possible if the laptop supports it.

Answer 4

It would be better to put both 1 * 32 and 2 * 16, but if the MHz of the memory matches the characteristics of the laptop, then there will be no difficulties. this can be seen by googling the model of the motherboard and processor, where it will be said how many MHz they support RAM
