Hi i own a base 2012 model with stock ram. I was planning to add more ram and im currently looking at two options due to budget constraints.
1. Buy 2 pcs of 4gb, replace both stock memory modules and make it 8gb total memory
2. Buy 1 pc of 8gb, replace only 1 stock memory module and make it (8+2)gb total memory
I was wondering if the 2nd option will have any performance degradation due to mixing of memory sizes. Any how about mixing memory with different speeds (eg, 1600mhz vs 1333mhz)?
Thanks for your inputs...
