Hey /g/
My computer currently running a desktop with one 4GB ram stick. I plan on buying another . The problem is my friend told me it has to be the exact same model stick otherwise it won't work. Is that true or does it not matter as long as it's 4Gb?

Depending on your motherboard, RAM type, RAM speed, and the phase of the moon, it may or may not work. Sometimes it works but you get system instability. Sometimes you only get single channel memory speeds.

It's fucking ram, don't do stupid shit and it'll work. Though if the sticks can run at different speeds it will usually run at the slower speed of the two, or sometimes everything will break (depending on your mobo and shit).
If the speed and type matches up you can basically go nuts. Get three sticks of different sizes from different brands and enjoy your 6.5GB ram

Your friend is wrong.

Your friendo was trying to not let you fuck up desu. I've never mixed different ram sticks but it will probably werk as long as they are the same type of ram. (DDR3/DDR4)

Your friend is entirely fictitious.
