Topic: Upgrading RAM Posted: 18 Jun 2020 at 6:13am |
I ordered the Lynx Level 4 and want to order another 16GB DDR4 RAM while I wait do to the system only coming with 16GB.
I was wondering what brand does DS use or what is a good match too use. |

DS buys in bulk and may change from one supplier to another. Mine came with two sticks of Patriot Viper Steel 16GB DDR4-3200 C16 RAM. But what yours will have may be different.

You don't (and probably won't ever) need more than 16 GB of RAM for gaming. The motherboard has 2 RAM slots, so to upgrade, you'd have to discard the 2 8GB sticks that come with it, and get 2 16GB sticks. Your mobo is limited to 2666 speed DDR4.
For almost every thing you do, the extra RAM will be idle. Whatever you think you need it for, I highly recommend you put this unit to use as is and see if you really need any more from it. It's a very good gamer at a very nice price. |

I play Star Citizen (I know, I know, alpha for years.) and that game eats ram do to not being optimized, you want at least 16GB dedicated to that game alone. I know other games will be fine. 😀 |

So you have 16GB of RAM, what's the problem?
Again, use it before you waste the RAM you paid for. |
