Is “OLOy Cardinal” or “Corsair Vengeance” RAM fine for the 2018 Mac mini, or should I stick to well known brands like Samsung, Kingston or Crucial?

2020 MacBook Pro 13 (i5-1038NG7) Maximum Video RAM
Can anyone who has the new 2020 MacBook Pro (i5-1038NG7) share the video memory that’s available? I’m thinking to customise it to 32GB. Since the video RAM is shared with the main memory, does more RAM give more video RAM? Or is there a cap to the video ram regardless of the main memory.- tzevoon

Hey there! My friend is a Graphic Designer, and she's thinking of buying the MBP 16 i7. She will use to do some "heavy" Illustrator and Photoshop work, little or none after effects. Do you guys think the extra 500$ are worth to upgrade to 32gb? Thank you!- fmalvar
