Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

Chapter 1 has the memory upgrade info.   The max is 2 x 4 GB of DDR3-1333 MHz memory, so you should be fine with your plans.

Thanks for the reply. How about 2pcs 4gb 12800mhz, does it also work in my g6?

You're very welcome.

Yes, the it looks like the processor your notebook has can run the memory at 1333 MHz, so the DDR3-1600 (12800) memory should work.

If the processor could only run the memory at 1066 MHz, the DDR3-12800 may not go back two clock speeds.
