[New RAM] [12GB] Supported by my pc or not?

Hey guys!

Quick question, I want to upgrade my current RAM memory from 6GB -> 12GB.

My computer:

The RAM memory:

Would my computer support this RAM memory?
Or would anybody recommend another one?


Thank you!

Yes it would, but you should save money and go with the 1333 ram over the 1609, as you computer only can handle up to 1333 it would be a waste.

Also, i dont know what you are doing, but anything over 8 gigs of ram is usually overkill, and you will never use that much.

 

As for the 12GB, I might not use it 100% but I dont have enough with 6GB.
I study applied informatics and I run some heavy programmes and happen to have a bot open too!

As for the 1333 ram over the 1609, would that differ alot?

 

A tiny bit, but not noticeable enough. Youll be find with it really.

 

Bump, anymore thoughts?

 

You're not really going to notice anything in terms of BUS speed, if you need more RAM for the simple fact that you are running more programs and such, then just buy extra RAM and be done with it.

 

Okay thanks Laptop But it would definetly fit in my computer and be compatible right?

 

They are compatible and would work together, but you won't see any speed increase, therefore you're wasting your money.

 

Its just I need more than 6GB RAM. Because I run some heavy programmes
So this should solve my problems, this upgrade, no?

 

Oh yes, you would see the difference in terms of RAM size, but the BUS speed you would see no difference in.

I would get this one instead - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231356

It's cheaper, and hosts no differences from the one you posted, aside from the faster BUS speed which your Motherboard doesn't support.

 

Aha, now I get it!
Okay thank you very well Laptop, I'll buy this one than
And thanks for the 10$ save LOL!
