My wife and I have prebuilt systems, both with an I5-6400 and 8 gigs of 2133 memory. Her system is a Lenovo, and mine is an ASUS.
Motherboards are unknown, but I can take the side of the case off and look if need be.
My video card is a Radeon R9 270x with 2 gigs of memory.
Her system - Mostly used for email, word processing, and playing path of exile. She is a teacher and does stuff for her classes while at home.
My system - Games such as path of exile, 7 days to die, team fortress two... etc, and basic video editing for youtube.
I thought about upgrading my memory to 16 gigs of ddr4 3000, or whatever will work in my system. Then take my 8 gigs of 2133 and put it in my wifes system.
7 days to die recently got a big update and my system is lagging terribly. Using task manager, 7 days to die takes up around 85% - 90% of my 8 gigs of memory.
TLDR:
My wife and I both have 8 gigs of DDR4 2133.
What is the best and cost effective route to upgrade memory in both systems?
