Should i buy the slower or faster memory

z2x1 · Jul 2, 2024

So im using a lenovo ideapad 3 15aba7 with a ryzen 5625u and 8gb solderd ddr4 3200 mhz.I have one free slot and the question is, should i buy another 8gb stick at 2400mhz for 7.50 euro or spend twice the money for 3200mhz. Also I can buy a 16gb 2400mhz for the same price as 8gb 3200.
And will there be huge performance difference?

you should match the speed on the soldered ram for best performance bud.

I would match the speed and size of the existing RAM. Things go wrong when you mix different speeds and sizes.
