Two things I said are based on experience and turns out I know what I'm talking about (actually all of them but let's focus on 2 only). 1. You can use one single dual channel memory bank on a MB which support dual channel. It will work as single channel with focus on "it will work". I didn't say it's won't be any difference, I suggested to test and see if it's worth the money considering that if what you have is a single channel you might need to buy 2x16 gb banks). An ingame test will tell if it's worth to invest in 2x16gb ram vs 1x16gb in terms on cost vs gain. 2. There is no such thing as identical configurations when it comes about laptops from different brand. Each laptop use a specific BM and a specific heat management system, both counting for performances. More than that It's pointless to come with additional proof although I can provide specific info about a game where if I leave the video card to fork for max frame rate (>200 fps) creates stutter every time I move the character or rotate camera. Limiting the FPS to 100 solve all problems and also keep the GPU at decent temperature. But that is for you to experience and maybe one day will thing about what I said. Anyway, I will keep quiet further on and hope you will get the answers you are looking for. Take care
