Hi,

I have HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop - Model: 15-ec2004ax.

 

I am planning to upgrade the RAM and these are a few options and related questions:

 

1. Keep the existing 8 GB and add a New 16GB RAM stick. Total=24GB.

 

    Q. Is it okay to have uneven RAM sizes? Will it not cause overwork on one, or cause the higher one to not work up to said potential?

    Q. I am considering this option as I can in future upgrade to 32GB, but unsure due to the above question

 

2. Remove the existing 8 GB and add two New 16GB RAM sticks, Total=32GB

 

    Q. In the manual it says 32 GB is supported. So is it 32GB supported?

 

   Q. Uneven RAM Sizes i.e. 8GB + 16 GB is feasible = 24GB, depending on my current requirements or it's better to have Equal Ram Sizes of 16GB + 16GB = 32GB for the laptop performance of Rendering and Simulation of 3D CAD.

 

My PC Usagae is for the 3D CAD Softwares and Product Simulation i.e. SolidWorks, SolidCAM, AutoCAD, NX CAM, etc.

 

What do you suggest that is better or the Laptop, it's future and my pocket as well.?
