Uh, WTF are you doing with your computer. Y don't u look at usage and see if u need more.

what are you doing with your computer?
do you use windblows?
i need more info bc it depends.

16 is enough for 2-3 instances of visual studio and chrome running

>what is quad channel

>>59981856
>5gb on browser
>stop using chrome desu
in that case yes you 16gb would be worth while

Something only for LGA2011
Still, go for it op. Dual channel is overstimated and you wont lose a lot of ram performance from running it on single channel

Is it? I already have slow ram (1333mhz)
>inb4 >1333mhz
Ancient i5 2500k build, i wont pay a shitload of money for slighty faster ram

>i don't know how ram works
4 sticks will still have dual channel, just for both pairs unless op takes random unfitting ram sticks

I max out 8GB on my X220.
