Hi:

Yes, your notebook has two memory slots.

See chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual for the memory upgrade information...

Ohh nice.

Thanks for your quick reply I was planning to upgrade my ram by adding another 4 gb ddr4 

Because I wanted to play RDR 2 in this lappy

And RDR 2 requires 12 gb ram ( min) or it just crashes to desktop saying out of memory 🤕

You're very welcome.

A compatible 8 GB DDR4-3200 memory chip for your notebook should be this one:

Crucial RAM 8GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 (or 2933MHz or 2666MHz) Laptop Memory CT8G4SFRA32A : Amazon.in: Co...

It will automatically bridge to 2400 MHz, and costs much less than the same brand of memory in 2400 MHz, which is more than double the price in India.

Crucial CT8G4SFS824A 8GB DDR4-2400 PC4-19200 CL-17 SODIMM RAM : Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories

In the United States the DDR4-2400 memory is the same price as the DDR4-3200 memory.

It sure is costly here ( ind ) .

Can you suggest me 4gb ddr4 ?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I think you should go with the 8 GB DDR4-3200 memory chip I posted.

That's a pretty decent price (1500 Rs) and besides you will have 16 GB of memory running in dual channel mode instead of 12 GB running in single channel mode by adding a 4 GB chip, which probably won't be much cheaper.

Right now, your notebook has 8 GB of memory running in single channel mode.

Okk but do u think I ll be able to play red dead redemption 2 ? In my laptop 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I don't play video games, so I don't know what kind of hardware they need.

Check the video games specs against your notebook's specs...processor, graphics, memory.

Um ok thanks for your quick reply .

I wish I can rate you more

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.
