Windows 10: 2 x 8GB Vs 1 x 16GB RAM Which is better and why?

Hi All,2 x 8 GB Vs 1 x 16 GB RAM. Which is better and why?With Regards,Subhankar

:)

 

8gb out of 16gb of my ram is Usable?

I checked. The OP's RAM is Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3L-1600 UDIMM CT7347625 | 760GMA-P34 (FX) | Crucial.com, which is a kit Crucial recommends for his motherboard.

I'm at a loss to explain why CPU-Z lists the RAM as single channel. It ought to be dual, if the CPU/motherboard are functioning properly.

My own systems are AMD at the moment, but they are Socket AM4 rather than AM3+. At the level at which I play with the BIOS settings, they aren't significantly different from the Intel boards I've used in the past.

 

8GB stick of DDR 4 ram price

The photo you included shows 2 sticks installed, which would be 2 x 4GB. Does your computer currently have 2 x 4GB sticks installed or 1 x 8GB and you want to add a second 8GB to increase to 16GB?

 

Dual Booting 2 x Windows 10 OS Drives (Existing Installs)


It is uneccessary to do all of the above.

1. Boot up Windows 10
2. Open Disk Management and take a note of the drive letter of the other Windows 10
3. Open Admin Command Prompt and type: bcdboot X:\Windows where X is the drive letter noted in step 2
4. Reboot, you should have a dual boot menu.
