compatible RAM, compatible processor sockets

[gshand2]

My HP Pavilion G4 laptop has an AMD A4-3300M processor.  The Specs on this says it supports DDR3-1333 RAM.  I installed a DDR3-1600 RAM module in addition to what was already in there, which I suppose was the DDR3-1333 for a total of 8GB RAM (4GB each module). So far it is performing fine. I don't get any error messages.  Am I OK with this installation?

       Also, the A4-3300M processor fits into a FS1 socket.  Would anyone know whether this socket would accept a A8-5500M processor which is supposed to fit into a FS1r2 socket?  Thanks very much.

The socket FS1r2 shares the same socket and pin layout as socket FS1; however the older FS1 socket will not accept newer FS1r2 processors
