Since I last looked at DDR5 RAM, there are now a bunch of new sizes of RAM kits: 24GB, 48GB and 96GB. Is there a specific reason for these new sizes? Are there specific scenarios in which they should, or shouldn't, be used? Can/should RAM sizes be mixed? For example, a 16GB kit with a 24GB kit? Or do they just provide a bit more flexibility for total RAM amounts?
 
Hummm, right, so one concrete advantage, if you needed a lot of RAM, is that you can have 96GB with only two sticks (or 192GB with 4, if sheer quantity is all that's important to you). Beyond that, it sounds like it's not much different, just different sizes. Good to know, thanks.
