Question about which RAM to Buy
Hello all. Looking into getting some new RAM for the computer. I currently have 8 Gb, but would like to update to at least 16. I was looking at the following 2 options:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15) at Amazon.com
Amazon.com: Kingston Technology HyperX Fury 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4 2133 MHz Desktop Memory DIMM (288-Pin) RAM HX421C14FB/16: Computers Accessories
I could just get the two new 8GB ones listed first and take out my old RAM. However, I figured that I could get the 16GB one to add to the RAM I already had. Does RAM need to match? Can I put the new 16GB one with whatever I have now? Does the fact that the 16GB has 2133 MHz as opposed to the 3000 MHz on the two 8 GB ones matter much?
Any direction or other suggestions you all could give would be appreciated. I am comfortable with computers, but buying/installing parts is new for me.
Thanks!
