I have 2 ram slots and both have 2gb ddr3 ram can I remove them both and add 1 8gb ram stick of ddr3​

Answer 1

Answer:

Modern motherboards are usually configured to take advantage of two identical RAM modules on their motherboards, and run in dual channel configuration. So, ideally, you should probably get another 2GB RAM module with the same frequency as your current RAM.

However, in real world applications, there is no evidence of any substantial increase in performance. Most results have showed ~1–2% of performance difference, which is hardly anything.

Most importantly, check your motherboard’s compatibility first! What modules does it take? A motherboard with DDR2 slots will not fit any other types of RAM sticks. Also, the maximum RAM frequency supported by your system also matters. Also, motherboards have a cap on the amount of RAM they can take. So make sure to check that, or your purchase is going to be in vain and your computer isn’t going to start.

If your motherboard’s memory capacity caps at 4 Gigabytes, go for another identical RAM stick.

If your motherboard’s memory capacity caps at 8 Gigabytes, buy an 8GB memory stick or two 4GB memory sticks, whichever is cheaper. Usually, it’s the single stick. And ditch/sell off your old 2GB stick.

If your motherboard’s memory capacity caps at anything above 8 Gigabytes, feel free to add an 8GB memory stick to your system. You can eventually replace the 2GB stick if your computer is still usable then.

Note that 8GB is quite sufficient for general PC users, and you can happily open several tabs in Chrome or Firefox without a hitch. Even for most games today, 8GB of RAM is sufficient.
