Some laptops and NUC's are single channel or will default to that if they
cannot match for dual channel compatibility.

It will usually figure out some level of compatibility that it *will* work,
until you start getting weird segfaults or crashes for no apparent reason.
My new used laptop came with mismatched 2x2 16gb sticks and *worked*, but
not something I want to test with 128gb of ram going into it when I tend t
this has been most educational! now I will know why my computer is
crashing, if it starts crashing.

It is better to have the same speed ram, but typically you can get
different speed ram to work without crashing/etc by placing the slower one
in the first slot (eg marked as slot 0). Also you can often set the ram
speed in the bios to the slower speed to avoid issues. Faster ram will
work at lower
your workloads tend to cause shiny new things to develop an aneurysm.
