I just got a Dell Inspiron 5675 pc with a ryzen 7 and up to 32 gig ram (2 16 chips), has 2 m2 drive slots (one sata, one nvme pcie). For what I paid for it it's a nice little machine but it uses DDR4 ram which is still on the expensive side. It's tough to find a 16 gig of any brand under 200.00 so this is a good price. Kingston does not make bad memory but there are certainly products out there that perform much better if you care about such things. This machine (at least the one I got) has a single Kingston 16 gb installed in one of the two slots. After you've been building computers for a few years you figure out that when it comes to RAM you should stick to the same manufacturer for all chips and if you're running any kind of SLI memory or one of the other schemes out there you should even stick to the same lot number if you can (thus the packages of two or more sticks all from the same lot). I could not find exactly the same stick that I had but this is currently the RAM that kingston recommends for my machine and there is only one listed on their web page. It was an easy install just be sure you push the ram all the way into the slot and lock the latches on both ends. RAM slots are often a little tight the first time they're used just make sure you've matched the notch to the ram slot and give it a little bit of a push down on the top of the stick on each side until the latches engage. After that nothing else should be necessary but you might want to enter the BIOS setup and make sure that all the RAM is being seen if it's reporting less than is installed there could be a problem. if windows boots then you're probably ok, as a test you can find a freeware, shareware program to stress your memory out to be sure it's working ok. I just boot up a very graphics intensive game like black desert online and then engage in killing some mobs, going for a boss fight etc. If it doesn't crash then you should be good. Be aware that some motherboards read different data from the RAM chip to setup speed etc. Before buying RAM research is probably a good idea, the Dell motherboards especially are known to want specific products or they will not run at full rated speed. Pair fast ram with an m2 drive and you'll see better performance than you'll ever see with a traditional spinning platter hard drive. I have not yet run a test bed to see what sorts of speeds I'm actually getting, for now we're fine more tweaks later.Read full review
