Hey folks, im upgrading my pc...and the only question that i have is "which memory should i get ?"
i will give you all an example k ?
should i get one set with 16gb ( 2x8 ) 4133mhz or one set with 32gb ( 2x16 ) with 3200mhz?
Here is some reading about clock speeds
more mhz = better performance? - [Solved] - Memory
As for 2 x 8gs or 2 x 16gs Apart from what Myl said there's possible future upgrades to think about. If you ever plan on going up to 64gigs your only option is 4 x 16g dimms. So I'd say it's better to go with 2 x 16g sticks that way you retain the option to go to 64g without having to eat the cost of the 8gig dimms

32GB would obviously be more desirable to allow for working with larger assets and getting longer previews...
