Ram upgrade from original 2 x 8gb to 2 x 16gb

Post by Dave100 »

Had a reply from Nick and another guy !! super helpful but can't get a reply out as I don't quite understand the forum yet!
My other query is that if I buy the 2 new ram modules from Crucial or my memory I can buy ones that are 2400 or 2666 or 3200! I presume this is a speed rating but I am in sure
a/ if they are compatible above the 2400 you recommended
B/ does it make much difference ( have no clue what it does)
See spec below;
I can get it in all 3 versions :

4.7 out of 5 stars2,406 Reviews
Integral 32GB kit (2x16GB) DDR4 RAM 3200MHz (or 2933MHz, 2666MHz & 2400MHz) SODIMM Laptop/Notebook PC4-21333 memory

Thank you for your valued help

Dave100,

You are correct, in that the 2400, 2666 and 3200 are the speed ratings, in MHz. Basically, a 2400MHz module can complete 2,400,000 data transfers per second, so the higher the MHz, the 'faster' the RAM.

Normally, a unit can use higher clock speed modules than what it shows it supports, and it would just kick the speed down to the top supported. IOW, if the top speed supported by a unit was 2400MHz, and 3200MHz modules were used, they'd still work just fine, but running at a top speed of 2400MHz rather than the 3200MHz they're capable of. Again, this is normally the case, and it probably is with this, though I can't say with 100% certainty.

Hopefully the admin will be able to tell you for sure, as well as what speed the unit supports.

Dave100,

After speaking with the admin, it's determined that the highest this AM02 supports is 2400MHz, so that's what I would get. I couldn't get a definitive answer regarding whether faster modules will work, but will be slowed to 2400MHz, but if it's anything like most other units, they will. Still, I'd get the 2400MHz modules.
