Sorry, I am back! While I wait for my 16GB XPS to arrive, I thought of buying some additional memory. I would have bought it from Dell, but since the PC was a 'Scratch & Dent' model, they refused to add extra memory to the PC. My questions are:
  1. Is it better to buy 32 GB in 2 x 16GB DIMMs or better to buy a single 32 GB DIMM or does it not make a difference for performance purposes?
  2. I looked at several online sources for the extra memory including Corsair (cheaper) & Crucial, using their online tool for buying the right upgrade memory. Is there any preference between these two?
  3. Is there something that I have perhaps overlooked and if so, what would be the best way forward?

Thanks much
