RAM Technical questions

[crazyjerz]

Hello,
what voltage, CAS latency and timings do my default 4GB RAM sticks have and is it possible to swap one of them for a 16GB stick with all stats the same?

● 4-GB L10598-855

Latency is CL = 19

1.2 volt 260 pin and yes although the Manual says 16 gb total (2 x eight) is max, it can accept 16 gig modules for a total of 32 gigs. I recommend a pair of matched modules so you are better off with a pair of eights rather than a single 16 gig. 

Post back with any more questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.

Thanks for an answer, but I have one more question.
Is it possible to swap one of the 4GB's for a 16GB stick with the same speed, voltage and latency and have 1x4GB 1x16GB for a total of 20?

[Huffer]

Yes but as I said not the best arrangement.

Would it perform faster or the same as 2x8GB?
I ask because I want to buy the first 16GB stick now and the second in the future because of the quite high prices of such sticks.

The difference is very very small. If you plan to eventually get it to 32 gigs then go forward with your current plan.
