Is it okay to put a 2666 Mhz RAM in a 2133 Mhz laptop?

Yes, you can. When the BIOS detects that the RAM is too fast for the memory controller or faster than the rest of the system memory, the fastest RAM will be clocked down to the speed of the slowest RAM. In your case, the CPU doesn’t support more than 2133 MHz so the additional stick will also be run at the same speed.

Is 2666 Mhz fast enough?

2666mhz 8gb will be great to game, you will not need 16gb becasue games rarely use more than 8gb of ram. DDR4 2666 is on the lower end of DDR4 RAM, which is what you should be getting in 2020. Intel CPUs aren’t as sensitive to lower speed RAM, but it matters for AMD Ryzen CPUs.

Is 2133 Mhz RAM fast?

So, this measurement of 2,133mHz means 2,133 x 1,000,000 = 2.133 billion cycles per second. Keep in mind, since this is probably DDR4 RAM, this is a very good speed.

Is 1X16 better than 2×8?

1 Answer. 1X16 is considered better because it (presumably) has a free RAM slot. This means that: If you wanted to upgrade to 32 GB RAM, you’ll have to buy 2 new 16GB RAMs in the first case, and only 1 new 16 GB RAM in the second case.

How much RAM is 2133MHz?

I actually found some 3200MHz ram for $72 (16GB)….Is 2133mhz ram a big deal?

Type	Item	Price

Is it better to have one 16GB RAM or to have 2 RAM of 8gb?

Always go with a matching pair. 2 8GB sticks will yield roughly 25\% more performance over a comparable 16GB stick. Dual channel is always going to be better than single. You will absolutely notice the difference in pretty much all applications that use more than 2GB of memory, which these days is pretty much anything.
