Comment on Noob RAM speed question
Cort@lemmy.world 10 hours agoI think the simple answer is yes 2 sticks is better than one. If only due to the speed increase from moving to dual channel memory.
Also, you may want to check ram prices again, they’ve literally doubled in the last couple months. Even on ddr4. Used ram might be a substantially cheaper option for the next month or so, until those prices go up too.

Ya the guy at the shop selling me the 8gb 2400mhz was saying these same sticks sold for almost half the price in september. I can’t find any 8gb 3200mhz ddr4 less than $100 in town

They’re $20-35 per stick (8GB 3200mt/s) on eBay right now. looks like people are already raising the prices on the used market too, but not everyone has yet.

Oh no. I misread the OP; you’ve already bought it haven’t you?
Maybe it’s returnable?
