Upgrading RAM

[aaaaaaaa---aaaa]

Hi all! Help me, pls, to understand what I should buy instead of 4gb RAM by default?

What I see in the notebook description:

• memory: 4 gb
• slot: 4gb Hynix 1600mgz
• motherboard: 81F2 64.66
• bios: F.46
• pocessor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3710 @ 1.60GHz
• Wind 10-64

What type of memory can support my notebook?
What is the maximum capacity?

Frequency, voltage?

So, I need to know all characteristics to buy a new RAM.

Thanks in advance!

Hi:

PCs with Pentium/Celeron processors only have one memory slot.

The maximum memory you can install is 1 x 8 GB.

That means you have to remove the 4 GB chip and replace it with an 8 GB chip.

You need DDR3L (1.35V) memory DDR3L-1600 (PC3L-12800).

and 16 GB - no?....

And could you tell,pls, what is your opinion: such aumentation of RAM (4->8) will give the real advantage in SW working speed?

16 GB, no.

Here is the link to the Pentium N3710 processor specs from Intel.  The max memory supported is 8 GB.

That is why one 16 GB memory module won't work.

Yes, in my opinion, switching from 4 GB to 8 GB of memory will definitely help performance.

While you're in there, you might want to consider installing a better performing, normally more reliable solid state drive too.

One more question, pls! 
I open my notebook and see on the inserted old memory card (4Gb) 1.5V simple DDR3
And you advice 1.35V DDR3 L (low?). 
So, is it significant difference or not?

Hi:

That is what the bracket is labeled, but the 1.5V can't be right.

Take a look at the specs...the specs call for DDR3L memory.

The difference would be the memory working or not working.

I have zipped up and attached a free utlity below, that will tell you the voltage specs of the actual memory module installed.

It the report says 1.5/1.35 then the memory is 1.35V.  It it reports 1.5 only, then the memory is 1.5V.

Many thanks!!!!! Realy it seems to be DDR3L.

I 'll try to buy DDR3L and then report here.

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You're very welcome,

Yes, you definitely need to buy the right voltage.

[aaaaaaaa---aaaa]

Many thanks!!! It works!!!! And it seems to work faster!!!!!!! 

You were totally right about the voltage! Thanks for your knowlege!!!!!!

good luck.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance.

Enjoy your notebook's better performance.
