Hi all. I have a question.. I have an X 370-f Gaming motherboard and according to the recommended ram lists.. they have one listed for hyperx fury 16G Ram (2x8) here is the question . on the list it shows recommended HX424C15FBK2/16 .. I went and got some ram at a PC shop and I noticed that when I got home. The code for this one is HX424C15FB2K2/16 .. it has a 2 listed after the FB and I am not sure what that means. When I looked it up on NEWEGG.com. I see both memory sticks.. are they essentially the same or are they that different?? When I looked up the first one of HX424C15FBK2/16.. on that page it had the 2nd one listed as a newer version?? Just trying to understand the difference. Thanks

ok so those apparently ARE different somehow.. i dont know what single/dual rank is. but i guess they can both be used in dual channel config.. i will go back to the store and get the right one. thanks.
