I have a e14 Thinkpad gen 5 Intel 1335u with 8gb soldered ram and a 8gb 3200 ddr4 stick. 16 is not enough ram for my use as a developer so I put a 16gb stick in knowing only first 16 will run dual channel. Now my computer crashes randomly with high memory usage… read online that a 32gb is more stable single channel but I’m skeptical. Stability is pretty important to me as this is how I earn a living what do you all think? Also I would just buy a 32 and try it but everything got pricey the last 2 month

    neither had I and I got such a good deal I did not dig into that much before I purchased. I have been through the ringer with laptops the last couple years and dumped so much into new ones that break and the parts are too expensive that I gave up and just go based upon price not specs. would love to have a dedicated desktop but I have to work on the go all the time
