the most important factor is that 2x4 packs are normally cheaper than a 1x8 stick
If the motherboard is max 16GB, there's no reason to not just get 4GB sticks, unless you just aesthetically would prefer only two of the four slots filled.
And personally I would just go ahead and get all 16GB right now because DDR3 will become harder to get sooner or later and so you might as well get all the RAM you could possibly use in the computer now while it's widely available.
I'm thinking this would be the best bang for my buck?
That would put me at 12GB of memory which is more than I need until I really start to overhaul the machine or build something new when there's more money in the bank.
If I go 2x8 i'd have to like. . . throw away the ram I currently have and that frightens me.

There is part of me that wants to make FuckedCompany 2.0. Then there is another part of me that realizes that even with a good lawyer, the number of lawsuits I'd have to deal with would drive me nuts.
FuckedCompany was a website during the first .com boom. It basically served as a gossip hub and rumor mill. At first for the various .coms but later on expanded to people talking about how fucked their company was. Which made them a massive target for lawsuits. And while I'm not aware of any winning the sheer number drove the site to be shut down by it's owner.
*shits all over utilikilts and people who wear them because it's not smashing or abolishing in a way that I personally like and even worse it's not all about me*
do utilikilts even smash anything or abolish gender norms though?
they are marketed as being for manly men who value comfort and utility, not as pretty skirts for any gender.
Are pantsuits marketed as rugged and manly? (this was rhetorical, because nope, they sure aren't nor is any clothing aimed at women)
Why are you applying an obvious double standard to your smashing?
Uh I don't think pantsuits smash many gender norms either. but pants are seen as traditionally male, whereas kilts aren't seen as traditionally female.
but obvious double standards are characteristic of patriarchy. men are much freer in their choices than women, and their choices are less likely to be seen as reflective of politics or challenges to norms.
I don't hate on utilikilts, but I think it's silly to see them as feminist statements somehow.

Women in suits definitely get some shit if the cut is perceived to be masculine. See also: gelled short hair, ties.
Much of the socially acceptable traditionally masculine female clothing consists of feminised versions of the garments in question, as opposed to literally the same garments. It probably depends who you know and the circles that you move in but when it comes to random abuse it has been my observation that butch lesbians tend to attract more than feminine gay men, though I suspect that is a consequence of people being more willing to hurl abuse at women than men in general.

Men can't wear dresses, right. But they get away with basically everything else.
Women are encouraged from a very young age to dress in a revealing way by basically every facet of media, but also to dress modestly or else be a slut. This is enforced in schools by sending girls home for dressing in revealing clothes, often because it's a "distraction" which puts forward the delightful message that girls' learning is less important than providing a distraction free environment for boys.
Let's not forget that rape victims are still blamed for dressing sexily, same with women that are shouted at on the street. But dressing masculinely is also bad because boys won't notice you.
This doesn't even touch the policing women do on each other's clothes, or the entire issue of doing up ones hair and or makeup.
I'll take not being able to wear a sundress in public to avoid all that shit any day

Just in general, although some people do try and make outdoorswear for women somehow about sex appeal, the vast majority of outdoorswear pictures are not marketed that way. They're marketed the same way for men and women; sensible, covering, tough and reliable.

Well no, it's not basically just dresses.
The reality is there is a comparatively very small range of mainstream acceptable clothing pieces and cuts for men.
Which is what we were talking about. Unless I totally misread @Regina Fong
Sure there are also those pressures placed on women nobody was denying their was, but that's far more complicated and nuanced than limiting them to a small collection of acceptable fashion, and that's a different conversation.
