Crucial DDR4 - 2 x 8 GB Dual Rank or 16 GB DR for T470?
Hello,
In order to make use of dual channel, planning to remove the 4 GB Single Rank DDR4 that comes with my T470 and wondering if I should get 2 x 8 GB dual rank modules or the 16 GB module which would ensure this investment of $180 doesn't go to waste if I intend to decide to get one more 16 GB module in a couple of years down the line.
Is there any advantage over getting the 2 x 8 GB sticks?
Any thoughts would be great. Thank you. This forum has been extremely helpful. Thanks to everyone. ☺👍
So which one would you prefer:
