As fast as DDR4 is, I don't imagine many people can perceive the difference,
especially running text DOS apps. That's why there are tools to measure with. If
you don't want to know that's fine and dandy. As the old saying goes, ignorance
is
bliss.
The first selection in my boot menus is MemTest86. I swap stuff around a lot.
There's no fun in swapping parts if results can't be measured.
