SkyNetRising said: It might. First 8+16 will not run in dual channel mode. It will be either single channel or flex mode. 8+8 will run in dual channel, so better. But if you're not using ram modules from same kit, this can introduce compatibility issues. So best option is to get either. 8GB+8GB dual channel kit or.
Single or dual rank: the ram sticks usally have listed 1R or 2R. 2R is better but if you have 1R currently get that one. Speed (mhz): get as close as you can with the speed you currently have. Capacity (gb): you now have 8gb so get another 8gb stick. 16gb will be enough for gaming. crumplyrogue. OP • 3 yr. ago.
Yup, you can. No, you shouldn't. The faster RAM would run at the slower speed and will not using dual channel because they are not the same size, it's even possible to have worse performance than the single 16GB stick. Snorlax_lax.

In your case, 24GB of RAM is ridiculously overkill unless you do heavy duty video/photo editing simultaneously. 16GB is even a lot, 8GB is optimal. Of course all depends on your usage." - Taken from a response on the link i added.
However, Crucial’s higher capacity RevB chips do allow up to 16 GB storage in a single rank (used in their Ballistix Max memory modules). Since you can have a single rank 8 GB or even 16 GB module, both dual rank or quad rank 32GB memory sticks are possible. A DDR4 32 GB single rank memory module does not exist at the moment.

It’s Apple keeping good on its promise of better memory management, something Apple‘s Craig Fedrighi highlighted when the 2018 was first introduced and was the reason I limited my purchase to 8GB.
