Any good points to upgrade to 24 GB Ram ?

[ShadowCrowax]

I currently have a Geforce GTX 850m and 8 GB ram.
so what would be the difference if I climb to 24 GB Ram while keeping my my old GPU ?

bite the bullet and do 128GB ram

Yes, yes you can.

My post was in regard to the OP's hardware on hand. The OP has 2 DIMM slots in his laptop there is no way an 850 based laptop has 4.

Thus, my other tongue in cheek post about the non existence of 2x12gb ram kits.

Ah, my mistake then.

Pretty much the thread answer (though there were some good answers before this, this one is it haha).

if i need that much i rather get a threadripper or a epyc processor and put in over 2 tb of memory with 192 gb sticks

You're kinda of letting you imagination run wild. But if you're right it should be easy to find some benchmarks that support your claims.

There are absolutely tons of benchmarks proving that dual channel is vastly superior. It's been heavily documented for so many years that it's considered common knowledge at this point.

It seems like you just haven't bothered to keep up or look for it.

2 DIMMs would be dual channel, one would be single channel, and in the case that RAM isn't enough, even having to settle with some RAM being single channel is better than not having enough RAM at all

You're pulling a quote out of context. Look at the bit of text that was in response towards.

There was never a statement made that there isn't a performance benefit to dual channel.

The statement was that there is no issue with a 24 GB configuration consisting of 2x 8 GB and 2x 4 GB.

Dual channel requires the RAM to be installed in pairs as specified by the motherboard manufacturer. On my motherboard it means the 2 sticks I have are installed in the 2nd and 4th slots from the CPU.

Flex mode allows for sufficient DIMMs in one channel to run as dual channel even when there's a single DIMM in the other channel running as single channel.

So, Channel A = Dual, Channel B = Single, for example.

or u can do quad channel for better speed

Quad channel isn't supported on most motherboards. It wasn't really brought to mainstream motherboards until DDR5, because a single DDR5 module is dual channel, and for platforms that support it, even just 2 DDR5 modules can trigger quad channel memory, but neither AM5 nor LGA1700 actually support that, they all still cap off at 2 channels.

It's basically only HEDT and above that supports quad channel, i.e. Xeons and Threadrippers.

Most consumer CPUs and platforms do not support this. The few that did were HEDT platforms and those have gone away on the consumer side in recent years.

The extra performance from also diminished. For example, dual channel does not double your real world performance. It's much smaller than that. And then quad channel is typically an even smaller increase.

more reason to keep my asus m2a99fx motherboard then

Uhhh, the motherboard you mentioned doesn't exist, but the M5A99FX does, and it doesn't support quad channel, nor does FX. I think you're mistaking channels for ranks. Or you just don't understand your own hardware.

yes thats mine i dont memorize everything lmao

well whatevs it gots me running with 4 sticks of 8gb so i take it for quad since its fast, whatever floats your boat
