Yes, you can use 8 GB RAM and 4 GB RAM together on your PC. There is a myth among tech people that it’s not possible to use two different-sized RAMs. But it’s totally not true. The motherboards come with at least two RAM slots but now the modern motherboards come with four RAM slots.
Given you can buy 16GB for as little as $25 more than 8GB, most should opt for 16GB. Those doing serious content creation will likely want more. Don’t pay for clock speeds your system doesn’t
For instance, if you try to mix together a 4GB RAM with an 8GB Ram, the dual-channel mode will make both of them perform like a 4GB RAM for the best results. While you might be thinking that you’re running a total of 12GB RAM in your system, the motherboard will be utilizing only 8GB for the most part.
Add a Comment. Technically yes but just because everything isn't the same doesn't mean it will work. It just means it has a chance it'll work. If you bought these both at the exact same time you have a better chance of it working. Generally speaking you don't want to mix kits if you can help it. Yes that will work without a problem.
That will force BIOS to see the change in RAM config. Of course, I can't guarantee the PC will work with 80 GB installed, even after you mix the pairs, since that is an "unusual" config and never validated by Dell. If it does work, use CPU-z (free) to check RAM speed and if it's running in single or dual channel mode (CPU-z: "Channel #"). If
can you mix 8gb ram sticks with 16gb ram sticks? Yes you can add them without much issue. the only realistic problem would be the faster RAM sticks has to drop down to the timmings and voltage of the slower sticks. even if that happens i would still be getting the gains from adding the additional ram right? or would i get the same performance
