So the max itll register is 2933mhz I believe. I put in another 8gb stick from crucial at 3200mhz to match what was in it, but it only clocks up to 2933mhz. Definitely get another stick regardless, as you're missing performance running only single channel. If you get a 16gb stick, you'll definitely have enough memory for gaming and web browsing(and chrome to eat up those yummy gbs of memory). The only difference between 16 and 24gb is purely the amount of memory as quantity doesnt dictate speed by any means, simply available resources.

Hi, I bought a Kingston kvr32s22s8/8 ram stick, memory sticks works dual channel seems on CPU Z. Also I've added a WD SN550 500gb Nvme m.2. Both work fine. Just for information.

DDR4 3200 260 pin sodimm.
It will take 1Rx8, 1Rx16, or 2Rx8.
1Rx8 is faster than 1Rx16, but 2Rx8 is even faster.
It helps if both sticks of Ram in your laptop match as closely as possible for the best performance.

I dont know if ram amount matters, but speed doesn't either. It contains, to which I believe, 1x8gb of ram, and is a samsung oem stick. Don't listen to me, I'm just a Loserontheinternet
