A comment on De-Bloated Windows 11 Build Runs on 2GB of RAM. Parent comment
- most motherboards reduce the DDR clock when using > 2 sticks.
- higher capacity RAM sticks use more “ranks” (AKA “banks”), which increases latency.
as of 2 years ago, 2x single rank DDR would limit you to 64GB. but 2 years is a long time in computerland: 64GB single rank sticks sound plausible.
