Probably best to see what the specs are for the stick you have to make sure throughput is not compromised and bottlenecking between the two. But I'm fuzzy on that so I'll defer.

In this case, considering the price and the performance benefit of going from 8GB to 16GB, I would recommend going with 16GB. Either 8GB pair: https://www.amazon.com/PC3-12800-DES...xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== Or 16GB pair: https://www.amazon.com/1600MHz-PC3L-...NsaWNrPXRydWU=

My wife just said to not be a dumbass and get a 16GB upgrade since it's so cheap.
So I guess that's the decision too. Also, I'll order an anti-static wrist band just to be safe. Last edited by lewdog; 06-17-2021 at 07:13 AM.. |

Get a 16GB pair, there's no reason to do anything else. |

Have an SSD drive installed and, along with the 16GB of RAM, you'll think you bought a new computer.

16GB is a significant performance upgrade over what you have. Add an SSD like Gloy suggested and you might think it's a whole new computer. The i3 still has a few years left in it for basic computing.
