Ram memory

[Chirobvt]

I want to upgrade my husband's computer by adding more memory...right now he has 4GB.  in specifications it says this computer supports 2 DIMM DDR3 sockets, PC 10600 DDR3-1333 or PC 12800 (DDR3-1600   I do not know whether the 4GB memory is a 10600 or 12800 that is already in the computer.  Does it matter which one I purchase?

HI.

To know what kind of RAM you have to run this software and in the memory section look at the technical features, it is the best way to know:https://www.piriform.com/speccy

Since each type 10600 or 12800 varies in voltage.

I downloaded the Piriform site, but it does not say whether I have the 10600 or 12800 DDR3, just that my computer has 4 slots, and 1 is filled

Both memories are compatible for your motherboard especially crucial certifies the dual voltage DDR3 PC3-12800 CL = 11, you should not mix two different voltage or lactation chip ..

As you can see you have cgip of the same lactation but different voltage CL-11.

If you choose CL-9 it is also supported by your motherboard being more breastfeeding and faster in this aspect.
