Expand RAM

[operari]

Hello, I have an Intel Core i5-2320 CPU tower with a 64-bit operating system. When I bought it back in 2012 or 2013, it came with 4 + 4 GB of Ram. After a while, I replaced a 4 GB strip to put an 8 GB one. Currently it has 12 GB of Ram. Now that it has been formatted to Windows 10 and an SSD has been put in for the programs, I want to change the 4 GB one and put a 16 GB one which in this case would be 24 GB in total. How many GB at most can I put in each strip? The only thing I remember is that you have to take into account the issue of latencies. Sorry but I am not an expert in the subject.

I hope for your help. Thanks in advance.

To know how much you can expand the memory in total and/or per memory bank, I recommend checking the manufacturer's website. There will surely be a section that shows the memory configuration that supports your CPU.
Intuitively, I imagine that it will support at least 16GB, 8 per bank. But to put 24 GB, it's almost better to check the manufacturer's website.
However, I don't think you'll need more than 16GB, unless you use virtual machines or programs that are very demanding of memory.

Best regards!!

Although Intel says that this micro supports up to 32GB, the limit will be set by the motherboard it is on.

Check its manual, and if you don't know the model, you can find out with the always useful CPU-Z

Anyway, you have the platform more than amortized and no matter how much memory you put in, you won't notice improvement, outside of the very specific uses that Mr. @_Neptunno_ mentions

Better invest in a change of platform, that even opting for second-hand options like a Ryzen of 1st or 2nd Generation, the difference will be more than noticeable compared to what you have now.

Salu2!
