Product: HP Omen 870-211nl
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, I just recently upgraded my ram ( previously standard 16GB, 8x2 ) with 2 new 16GB (32GB, 16x2) sticks. Altough the maximum supported is 64GB, I just read that more than 32GB isn't suggested. Will my pc be slower? What should I do? 

Thank you in advance,

Renato

Hi, Renato:

 

Your PC will not be slower.

 

There are different opinions regarding how much memory is sufficient, and many folks believe that installing memory in excess of 16 GB is a waste.

 

Others say, the more the merrier.

 

Think back to the old says when someone thought that 2 x 512 MB of memory was a lot.

 

As programs and operating systems become more complex, they use more memory.

 

I'm one of those folks that are of the opinion that the more memory the better.

 

Even if it is a 'waste' today, it may not be tomorrow.
