Hey everyone! I've just upgraded my RAM from a 4x8GB 2666MHz kit to a 2x16GB 3466MHz setup. However, my motherboard seems limited to 2933MHz, possibly due to the 10th gen i7 processor or maybe a settings issue on my end. I recently found another stick of the same RAM at a similar price as my current ones. Should I just stick with my current setup, buy the third stick now, or hold out for a fourth one?

I'd say stick with 2 sticks if you're looking for speed; more RAM isn't always better unless you're maxing out your usage. If you don’t need the additional capacity right away, adding a third stick might not give you a significant boost in performance compared to sticking with what you have.
But is that speed difference really noticeable in daily tasks? I've started using AI models, and I noticed my previous RAM wasn't cutting it. I'm not too worried about it unless adding more RAM would slow down my regular tasks and gaming.
