    For a P651RE6 I have the following RAM options:
    • Two 32GB 2400MHz kits (i.e., 2 X Kingston Impact HX424S14IBK2/32)
    • One 64GB 2400MHz kit (HX424S15IBK4/64), which is more expensive than the two separate kits above.
    • Two 32GB 2666MHz kits (i.e., 2 X HX426S15IB2K2/32), which despite the higher frequency is lower priced currently.
    Please advise!
    Any additional help and all well-intended comments are very welcome. :)
    TIA

    Go for fast 2666 MHz at best. You can try 3000 MHz if you have Prema BIOS for this laptop. Anything above 2666 create problem on stock Clevo BIOS in my P650RS-G so i'm sure you will have similar situation. I had HyperX 2400 MHz CL14 in my old Clevo RE3 and everything was ok (2666 was unavailable in my country)

    The 2666 is faster with the same timings as the 64GB kit. So is faster in all ways.

    What kind of tasks are you doing?

    Thanks for the replies, guys! :)
    I wasn't sure 2666 would run OK in this laptop with stock BIOS.
    I'll be doing video editing mainly.

    Two of the 2666Mhz kits will maximise what you can get out of the CPU then.
