Question OK to run a single stick of memory?

[spdfreak]

I have a single 8GB stick I want to run in a MSI B360M board for simple office use. Performance is not a real concern. Any problem running a single stick of Crucial 2400?

Shouldn't be any problems.

It really only cripples an integrated graphics chip.

You'd only notice if you try and game on it.

Otherwise, no big deal. Single channel DDR4-2400 provides almost as much bandwidth as dual channel DDR3-1333. (19.2GB/s vs. 21.3GB/s). Of course, if you could find some cheap 2933/3000/3200MHz, that'd help. Also with latency.

It will work. You take a slight performance hit. A lot depends on how many windows you typically are using. I like to use a 2 x 8 GB kit Myself even if it is only for mostly browsing. If you ever want to use your PC with a 4K TV More RAM and or a video card with HDMI 2.0 might come in handy. It is often costly to upgrade RAM later on down the road. Of course everything costs money.
