Or, you could buy through one of the RAM manufacturers which offers an online memory detection tool, such as Crucial's Scanner here: https://www.crucial.com/upgrades
Lastly, you could download and run the CPUID.com CPU-Z windows utility to see what type of memory is currently in your system, but although these results are typically spot on for me, they are not guaranteed results.

Don't make the same mistake I did. I didn't pull the trigger the first day and it went out of stock mainly because someone said it won't work right because it's not in a kit. After all my research, it turns out that unless you're doing insanely intensive workload 24/7, it will never be a problem.
"Each G.Skill memory kit is designed and tested to run at full speed with only the modules it comes with. By adding a secondary kit or more modules, the rated specifications are no longer guaranteed. Same spec only means they can perform similarly, it does not mean they can run together at full speed. Ideally a single 32GB+ kit should be used to replace the existing module."
What are your thoughts?
This is for the Lenovo Gaming 3 laptop that went on sale for $435 from BestBuy not too long ago (only came with a single 8GB stick). The only intensive work I do is gaming. No video editing or having a million tabs open.
So far the games I play work just fine, but I'm wondering if dual channel would be worth the additional $$$. If I didn't have the existing 16GB stick I would have gone with 8X2.

The concern is that G.Skills customer support makes it seem as if i should only use "kits" and that buying a second identical stick isn't the right solution. They even went so far as to say it would be best to use one 32GB stick. Such a weird response.
