I suspect we are eons ahead of the thread starter by now.

I do have a tale of RAM though. My 16GB pc went in for repairs, some hardware issue with the MB. I asked for the best MB available but I was told its only best with 32GB RAM. I thought what the hell do it. As far as I can tell there is no difference between 16GB and 32GB RAM. But I thought one day a game will come out stating 32GB RAM in min requirements.

Assuming the same speed and timings (old RAM and new RAM), the only difference you'll see between 16GB and 32GB is the "percentage" of RAM used... in Task Manager.

Now if the new RAM has higher speeds and lower timings... you should see a difference in the RAM benchmarks.
AIDA64 Extreme has a decent RAM benchmark.

I tried to download that AIDA and i kept getting driver support which is one of dozens of invasive ads on a bustling site.
