RAM 1600MHz or 1333MHz

[roneronturon]

Good day!

I have a quick question that needs a yes or no answer,

Here it goes, can I use a RAM with 1600MHz to this laptop? (Yes or No) If no, why?

Below are specs for that the laptop has for easier thoughts

HP Pavilion dm1-4011tu Entertainment Notebook PC

Model: A3U90PA

Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i3-2376M CPU @ 1.40 GHz 1.40GHz

Installed RAM: 2.00GB (Hynix DDR3 1333MHz)

Many Thanks, 

Aironn

Hi,

Looks like you have to use 1333MHz RAM. Machine may accept 1600MHz RAM but it will downgrade to 1333MHz. And its FULL specs:

Hi,

You can install compatible memory 1600MHz but always run at 1333 MHz , because that is the FSB (front side bus) processor.

Is it possible to upgrade the 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 to 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3? (Yes or no?)
