Upgrading Laptop's Memory

[karan_s]

I am upgrading my laptop's ram, and after researching about my laptop's compatibility, I Chose Crucial DDR5 4800MHz 32(2x16) SODIMM. Would this ram be compatible with my laptop?
If not, What are my other options?

If yes, is there any better option than this?

Hi @karan_s 

Yes, it is compatible with the notebook.

On further researching, would a 2 Rank memory be compatible with my machine ?

you say the double rank ones? Yes, they are compatible, but the single rank ones are faster because they use less chip, so the data transfer between chips is faster.

Okay!, all my doubts are clear now, Lastly I just want to confirm are there any better options than the Crucial one I am thinking of buying ?

Check your laptop's specifications for DDR5 RAM compatibility and supported speeds (e.g., 4800MHz). If your laptop supports DDR5 4800MHz, the Crucial kit should be compatible.

If not, consider DDR4 alternatives or lower-speed DDR5 options (e.g., 4400MHz). For better options, look for higher-quality brands like Corsair, G.SKILL, or Kingston, but ensure compatibility with your laptop's specs.

Yes, my laptop is DDR5 compatible as it comes with a 16(2x8) DDR5 4800MHz memory. Also according to your suggestions, I looked into higher-quality brands like Corsair, G.SKILL, or Kingston and Chose this memory -

G.Skill RipJaws DDR5 SO-DIMM Series (Intel XMP) 32GB (2 x 16GB) 262-Pin DDR5 4800 CL34-34-34-76 1.10...
Can anyone confirm if this would be compatible with my laptop?
