A friend of mine told me it was fine mixing my 8GB with the 16GB as long as they had the same frequency and maker (company), another told me to not mix them because of the diferent sizes. I didnt want to get rid off the 8GB if i bought the 16GB and wanted to have more than 16GB so it can last longer per say. Yes you can, but personally, I wouldn't. Ram is so cheap now, you should just dump the 1GB sticks and get another 2x 2GB. Even if it will work, it is always better (for speed, performance and reliability) to have all matching memory. Share.

However currently in my system I have installed 2x4gb vengeance corsair 2400 sticks as well. Both the 16 gigs and 8 gigs have exactly the same specs in terms of latency and frequency and my hope is that is it possible for me to be Would mixing same Mhz from same manufactorer even same name rams, but different sizes work together,? for example: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 32GB 2x16GB with CORSAIR Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200MHz 16GB 2x8GB Thank you for your answers Yes, you can use 4GB and 8GB RAM together. But you may experience a performance drop while using RAMs of different sizes. But you can reduce that performance deficit to some degree by using two different-sized RAMs of the same bus speed. But, Tech experts always opt for using the same-sized RAMs. Curious to know can I use 8GB and 16GB RAM together. Posted May 30, 2018. You can mix 2 different memory brand and it should work in dual channel. But same brand is preferable.

Although it is pretty minimal if you get the same manufacturer, speed and timings as is currently in there. As Apple's RAM will follow JEDEC standards not something using XMP Can you combine 8gb and 16gb RAM in a laptop? - Quora. Something went wrong. Wait a moment and try again. While it is technically possible to mix 4GB and 8GB RAM modules, it can have a noticeable effect on performance. When mixing RAM sizes, the overall capacity of your system will increase, allowing for more simultaneous tasks and applications to be run. However, the performance may be hindered due to the mismatched sizes. 4 GB. Maximum memory. 32 GB. Dell - XPS™ 8700 - Memory. XPS™ 8700 has 4x 240-Pin DDR3L/DDR3 SDRAM slots which support Dual Channel DDR3L SDRAM up to 1600 MHz. The XPS™ 8700 supports up to a maximum of 32 GB system memory. If the customer is installing DDR3L, it should be DDR3L (1.5 V) only. C. computer_newbie. 2HHNs3.
