3 Things to Know About Upgrading to 32GB RAM

You must replace both sticks With only two memory slots, you cannot add RAM. Remove both 8GB sticks and install two 16GB sticks.

Do not mix different-size sticks A 16GB and 8GB stick will run in single-channel or flex mode, losing performance. Always buy a matched 2x16GB kit.

Check your motherboard’s supported speed Confirm the RAM speed your motherboard supports, such as DDR4-3200 or DDR5, before buying. A matched pair ensures full dual-channel bandwidth.
