Any opinions for a good 16GB DDR4 stick?

Hi guys, what are some good options for EOS for a single stick of 16GB DDR4 2666MHz SODIMM? Any brands or specifications I should look for, or would anything work about the same?

It’s a work-purpose laptop running on CPU: Intel i5-8265U (8) @ 3.900GHz; GPU: Intel WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620]; 512GB SSD.

Only runs several libreoffice apps and several browser tabs. I don’t have swap turned on and find myself freezing up on occasion due to the current 8GB. BTW where on EOS can I turn on swap?

Thanks!

If you haven’t chosen swap at the time of installation, you need to set it up yourself.
You can choose a swap partition or a swapfile:
