Your Predator PO3-620 can take a max of 64GB memory into its 4 slots but, you have to have memory not faster than DDR4-2400Mhz or DDR4-2666MHz at 288-pin DIMM’s and you can install memory modules 2GB/ 4GB / 8GB / 16GB in any combination as long as they match these specifications. Best is to get CPUz and see your existing memory specs that your 8GB has and match that as putting different memory speeds will reduce the average speed/timing of your memory to its lowest common denominator e.g. 1x DDR4-2400 plus 1x DD$-2666MHz will make both run at DDR4-2400MHz.

what hppen if i used 1X ddr4 8gb 2666mhz and 1x 16gb ram 3200mhz ? can be run on my desktop ? any effect?  because im wrong purchased that 16gb ram 3200mhz

Very likely the 3200 RAM you are looking at isn't actually 3200. It's 3200 Max when run in XMP mode and is probably 2133 when run normally. That will be much slower than the 2400 or 2666 that's in there now. Make sure you are not looking at an XMP spec and get the (likely cheaper) 2666 instead.

  is this some sort of a trick question? "shairul" why would you want to use a DDR4-3200MHz if the recommended memory is only DDR4-2400Mhz to max the DDR4-2666Mhz standard memory? It just doesn’t make sense. Acer does not suggest overclocked memory, Acer only recommends (for best performance) to use standard memory that I’ve quoted you above! You can use the DDR4-3200MHz as it might work or mightn’t work, it’s up to you and if it does not work then you take the responsibilities! I as a responsible and conscientious advisor will only recommend what I know works and what Acer recommends that works as Acer does NOT recommend DDR4-3200MHz memory to be used on the Predator PO3-620, its very simple.
