Crappy Used Computer Parts Ads

Consdiering how crappy the last acer pre-built I touched was it wouldn't even surprise me if it had 2x8GB ram sticks and disabled half of one considering the corners they cut. Or it might be using sodimm memory that did have 12GB sticks available but that might have been ddr5 only not ddr4.

(acer pre-builts bragging about 3200Mhz ram on a motherboard that only supported 2333 and no overclocking option to make use of 3200).

Ive always, always matched ram sticks, so I guess I didn't think about an unmatched pair, so weird haha.

@sswilson how does 4+8 give you full 8gb dual channel? Wouldn't it be 4gb dual channel and 4gb mostly unused? Dunno, really never played around with asym ram setups.

8GB + 8GB is called 16GB dual channel, so 4+4GB would be 8GB dual channel.

I played with asym a bit when I got my 4060 laptop and I had an 8GB stick to pair with the 16GB it shipped with while I waited for my 16GB stick to arrive from AliExpress.

🙄🙄🙄
Well aware! Haha
It might be a single 4GB soldered and then an 8GB added to the open slot. That would give you 8GB dual channel and 4 gb overrun.
This is what I was asking about. Why is a soldered 4gb + regular 8gb = 8gb dual channel?
