Both will be 2x sticks. Mine 32 or 64 hers min. Keyboard? Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I would agree that going for all now without later upgrade and buying a set from PCS is the best solution. I did not realise that the Octane has 4 slots for the RAM, so might fill all at first buy. I want a laptop for myself and one for the wife. Had at first thought of a lower spec for her...

Thanks for the advice on the i9 9900k. I've been retired for 16 years, but in my early years for memory sticks, two of the same size was a cheaper option than one double the size. Guess that's now the other way round! Up-grading was then just add one stick rather than replace two. I chose...
