Upgrading Laptop RAM

[jasonrey]

---

mga sir, i want to upgrade my laptop RAM. currently, i have 1x2GB of RAM. i want to add additional 1x2GB to make it 4GB total.

this is my current RAM:


if im gonna buy additional RAM, do i just buy a 2GB DDR3 RAM for laptop which are found in local computer stores? or are there other things i should consider when buying? like, the brand of the RAM or timing(?) and such?

thanks!

Sir, same ram lang palita kong unsa nga ram nga naa sa imong unit para wala problem. then same CL. then check sad os nimo, dapat 64BIT ka para ma utilize nimo ang 4GB nga RAM...

naka win7 64bit naman ko sir. mao nahan ko mag upgrade pud sa RAM. dako jud chance nga naay issues if different brands ang magamit?

[werty]

same ram type if possible to minimize incompatibility.... ipataud lang ni kung asa ka mupalit sa imo memory, libri man na itaud aron ma test...

mao bro pa taud lang na..... ingna me kong uns ana resut..

based sa akong experience, ok raman, different brands but same speed and CL lang jud... tried mixing brands on 4 laptops already, hehehe, 3 toshiba's and 1 acer...

mao ni akong na mix:
kingston and samsung
apacer and samsung
hynix and samsung

lisud man gud mangita og matched pair basta gamiton nimo ang existing RAM sa laptop kay mga OEM models na siya mostly from samsung or hynix.

one option if you like, baligya nimo ang existing unya palit kag matched pair...

A good option para walay blema sa pairing....

tan.awa pud kung pila ray limit na makaya sa imong board

[jasonrey]

4GB ang maximum makaya sa board.

mao ni lain info sa akong current ram:


naa koy nakit-an sa pricelist sa PCQB:
4GB DDR3-1066 SODIMM - Kingston 2,080.00

sa akong nasabtan kay DDR3-1333 akong current. then kanang 4GB kay DDR3-1066. mas maayo ba nga paliton nalang nako nang 4GB bisan mas hinay iyang clock?

gi base na nako diri nga post:

Memory - Real Clock - Effective Clock - Maximum Theoretical Data Rate - Memory Module

DDR 200 - 100 MHz - 200 MHz - 1600 MB/s - PC-1600
DDR 266 - 133 MHz - 266 MHz - 2133 MB/s - PC-2100
DDR 333 - 166 MHz - 333 MHz - 2666 MB/s - PC-2700
DDR 400 - 200 MHz = 400 MHz - 3200 MB/s - PC-3200

DDR2 400 - 200 MHz - 400 MHz - 3200 MB/s - PC2-3200
DDR2 533 - 266 MHz - 533 MHz - 4266 MB/s - PC2-4200
DDR2 667 - 333 MHz - 667 MHz - 5333 MB/s - PC2-5300
DDR2 800 - 400 MHz - 800 MHz - 6400 MB/s - PC2-6400
DDR2 1066 - 533 MHz - 1066 MHz - 8533 MB/s - PC2-8500

DDR3 800 - 400 MHz - 800 MHz - 6400 MB/s - PC3-6400
DDR3 1066 - 533 MHz - 1066 MHz - 8533 MB/s - PC3-8500
DDR3 1333 - 667 MHz - 1333 MHz - 10666 MB/s - PC3-10600
DDR3 1600 - 800 MHz - 1600 MHz - 12800 MB/s - PC3-12800
DDR3 1800 - 900 MHz - 1800 MHz - 14400 MB/s - PC3-14400
DDR3 2000 - 1000 MHz - 2000 MHz - 16000 MB/s - PC3-16000


Effective Clock = Real Clock x 2

Maximum Theoretical Data Rate = Effective Clock x 8

Memory modules manufacturers usually name their mmodules according to the Effective Clock but some use the Maximum Theoretical Data Rate

ayaw bro... ang imong RAM karon DDR3 - 1333 (667 MHz) na...
