Okay, so I watched a video by ThioJoe on how to potentially "double" the RAM's capacity. Even though he says it is fake in the description, I can't determine whether or not it actually is fake. I already have the maximum possible amount of RAM installed on my laptop, which is 16GB. Just wondering: If I were to optimize the RAM and it was doubled, will it work fine, or will it have issues?

I'm currently using my Toshiba Satellite laptop (which is more than 5 years old) as a "test subject", as the RAM speed is lower than 1600 MT/s, which is the speed the RAM should be at.

It took several days to finish the diagnostics. The RAM wasn't doubled (as expected) but the laptop runs faster than even my new HP laptop!
