Why would you buy a 16GB (2x8GB) kit if it costs more than twice the 8GB (1x8GB) item? Does the kit come with something else? Am I missing something?

I agree. The prices fluctuate and sometimes you get lucky and find some discount code or something.

Yes, you are missing thing - dual channel mode for the memory access. Just google for "Single memory vs dual channel". You may get in average 10-20% performance boost but if you decide to upgrade kit, you cant simply add new RAM, as both slots are used by kit.

When i bought the memories the cost of 16gb was cheaper than the single memory of 8gb x 2 units. There are not more reasons

I think every person looks for the best price at the time of purchase. If you found a better deal on a single 8GB then I say go for it. No kit or nothing special about the 2x8GB.

You can't purchase two kits and make them work as one.. The memory modules must be made at exact same time in exact conditions.. If the kits says it's dual core then it's dual core if the kit says it's for quad core it's for quad core you can't mix-and-match or combine

To actually answer your question, yes. I have 16GB in mine. It'll take two 8GB modules.

I put a two gig memory card in mine. It was kinda on accident. I bought I 1 gig on ebay and they accientally sent me a 2 gig. So I decide to try it. It works great and have no probs yet.

It indeed does. The 8gb and 16gb has no physical difference. Its storage space. I have the 16gb and it works swell. I really like it.

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

Hi Ronald, just a heads up, my order did come with an 8gb card. I ended up buying a 32gb card on top of that.

AMD R9 Gamer memory from AMAZON. I bought [2x4gb] ddr2133 CL 10 8gb kit. $95.00 Got more money? Buy a 16gb kit. I'm all ASUS/AMD and it all booted up right out of the box.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Remember if you are planning on going to 32 gigs its better to have a match set, if you are only planing on using 16gb and later on upgrade than get 2X8 matching sticks. The board is design for a match set and performs better.

Like I said, just making sure. I found a good deal on an 8GB class 4, I think $12.50. Really, not much more expensive than class 2, so I figured: why not?

Thank you for contacting us. It was an listing error. The item you are inquiring about comes with 16GB.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. I saw another one by AJ Wholesale, but they're charging $599 for the 32GB one...so I'm just waiting when to hear from these guys. I hope it's not too long...I've Googled it and still can't find an answer.

Dude, it's too expensive to order smaller quantities of 2 & 4 gig cards then have separate storage and more labor keeping them separate and pulling them correctly for the right order. mine came with a four gig so its just a way of offering you the option of paying $5 more if you'd like to. doesn't the other one you're talking about come with some sort of reusable condom in case you take your personal body camera to a golden showers party so it won't get wet?

Hello, It has 2x4GB, manufacturers do not install one single 8GB, they always install 2pcs 4GB. Regards,

It comes with 2GB why did you upgrade all the way to 4GB, did it add that much more speed? and how much extra of a cost? Are you still happy with it?Thanks

I didn't buy a 16 GB Kingston from Amazon, but I understandone thing or two about them. You will lose the data if youformat the pendrive, so save your data soimewhere else beforeformating it. This is valid for Kingston datatravelers with twoformated areas, one open and the other secured too.
