I currently have a computer with the 1x8GBRAM stick on this page: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2133MHz-Non-ECC-HX421C14FB/dp/B00TY6A56U/ref=dp_ob_title_ce#

I am wondering if I can buy the 1x8GB stick on this page because it is cheaper, and use both in my computer : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01D8U27YU/ref=twister_B07CTR53KF?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1


If i buy the cheaper one will I be able to use both sticks together for a total of 16GB of ram

OK. That doesn't change my initial comment above. Chances are good it will be fine. If you plan to OC the RAM, you may run into stability issues, tho.

Chances are it will be fine. But dual channel memory is sold in matched pairs for a reason. Timings and production lot similarities are very important when running in dual channel mode.

What motherboard and CPU will they be running off of?
