Not the same bud. They're both two sticks but this one is 64gb in total but yours seems to be only 32gb
I think he meant if you bought two of those deals it would be the same price if you'd rather have 4 sticks instead of 2. $83 x 2 is $166. The deal is expired though now so it's moot.

I've heard it's harder to run XMP when you are using all 4 sticks?

I think it depends on the type of board you have. Lower end boards use daisy chaining, so the farther you get from the first slot, the slower the response. Some boards/ram perform better when all 4 banks are filled, but usually it's an odd/aesthetic thing for people. Also, these are dual sided dimms so there will be more latency than if the chips were on one side. It's the same principle as Nvme drives. the higher the capacity, the more likely the chips will be on both sides. Not sure if the 16 GB sticks are single or double sided. But as always, do your research.

In the future I'm probably going to lean towards Mini-ITX, 2 DIMMs maximum, to dodge any potential problems with running 4 sticks. 64 GB is a lot for me, and we might see 48-64 GB DDR5 DIMMs within a couple of years for a total of 96-128 GB in 2 slots.

Yeah, I have an MSI B550 board and I can't run XMP with 4x3200MHz 16GB on the latest BIOS update. It also didn't have some timings available for manual tweaking in BIOS, so I ended up just using Ryzen Master. It varies from motherboards to motherboards, I suppose.

A decent price though since I got this for $203.88 during BF. (~$21 higher than this price)

I think you're math is off on that. Wouldn't this be $38 less than you paid?

Edit: 48 GB modules are launching now [tomshardware.com].
