There was no option to add extra RAM at purchase, so it came with a miserable 4Gb. Crucial recommended a single 32Gb in the second slot. Maybe Win11 will play nicer with all that memory.

Crucial need a slap then because you will lose out on half the bandwidth of the ram. You should have scrapped the 4GB and went with 2x16GB sticks so you run dual channel and not unbalanced

Unless it only has 1 slot and the 4GB is soldered of course

No 16Gb sticks available. If it plays up. I'll just pull the 4Gb and add it to my box of memories.

Then personally I would have took the info crucial gave and bought Corsair. It should not play up it just will not run as fast as it can

Absolutely, should have put a pairs in, I would return the 32gb Taf and do it right.

My PC has RAM slots in three's. It's a bit old, circa 2012, but runs fine. Now with 18GB RAM (3x2 and 3x4) it copes with what I need it for.

Triple channel extreme edition chip socket LGA 1366. Your miss matched sets will stop it running at triple channel but as you say it is fine

Re: What have you just bought?
 
I was just told that each set of 3 had to match for triple channel but it would work with part sets. I am looking at getting a new PC built soonish so I keep looking around for the best bang for buck components that work together, it's what I did on the current machine. You know, that point where to get more performance costs huge amounts and spending less doesn't save much. Not precious on the CPU but I have kept with nVidia for the GPU. Everything has to work with Linux and I'd like an internal DVD drive which seems to limit case options.

Slippers. I bought a job lot at half price several years back. But I just binned the last of them.

What charging option have you gone for? And how fast is it from zero to 20mph? ;)
