Memory Swap/Advice

[SHAVERZ]

I'm looking at swapping my memory out but not sure which to go for, if at all.

The reason for swapping is due to my current memory only being Intel XMP Memory and I have an AMD system - AMD EXPO (not sure if this makes a difference).

I'm looking at the following;

CORSAIR VENGEANCE® RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL30 AMD EXPO & Intel XMP Memory Kit (CMH64GX5M2B6000Z30)

The speed of my current memory is faster at 6400 MT/s but the new memory is only 6000 MT/s is it even worth swapping out or should I just stick with current memory and buy two additional modules to make 64GB total.

The supported RAM for my mainboard on the corsair website shows;

VENGEANCE® RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL30 AMD EXPO Memory Kit

Attain top DDR5 RAM performance optimized for AMD® motherboards, with ten-zone RGB for DDR5 memory that lights up your cutting-edge PC.

Thanks @Tetras

PC runs fine, no problems thus far.

I'm only using the PC mainly for gaming and the odd desktop application (not for productivity).

I think my biggest error here was going with the Ryzen 9 7900X3D instead of the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, although benchmarks online are very mixed from what I can see. Although many favour the 7800X3D.

I wanted to upgrade the memory solely for the AMD EXPO but if this isn't worth it then I shall pass. I thought if I was upgrading the memory then I'd move to 64GB from 32GB (perhaps 2x 32GB modules). I suppose it all depends on the performance gain.

I'd probably stick with what I have for now then. Out of curiosity; If you was to upgrade the memory today, what would you go for?

Thanks for your advice @Tetras, much appreciated.
