how fast is the ram? 1600mhz or something lower?

It's lower......1066Mhz. It's a great laptop that I'd recommend anyone to buy! I bought mine refurb'd and totally enjoy it everyday. I downloaded the Windows 7 GUI because the Windows 8 GUI drives me nuts, but the OS is still Windows 8. Hope this helps

I7 is amazing and I'm not sure about specs for older but mine is really fast because it's 8 gigs of ram. I believe it's around 3.7ghz. I prefer newer up to date items as well because of bug fixes. I'm sure you could find a c

running a locked cpu I believe that is correct. That is the situation I am in. If I put an unlocked pentium g3258 I think the ram would run at 1600 no problem. I also had to flash the board with an old haswell chip to support newer haswell refresh chips.

Preferably 1600 to 2400mhz will do, your definitely going to want to overclock this APU to squeeze out it's performance. I do not recommend going over 4.1 on the overclock though. But even 1600 mhz ram can be sped up a bit to get some extra performance out of the thing.

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

1600 MHz RAM will work but will be down clocked to 1333 as the CPU's memory controller only supports running at 1333 MHz.

Well... Yes, but the motherboard won't be able to fully utilize the speed of the ram. I think it only runs at around 1066Mhz unless you overclock it to 1333 Mhz. Honestly this board is not made for gaming, more for casual browsing. lol I hope this helped.

No, that does not sound right. I typically use 16xxMHz RAM with no problem. never wen higher than that on these boards.

It's fast, but if you are looking at it for gaming, probably not the best processor. I don't know the exact CPU speed or MIPS.

Remember that some makers ram plays better than others. 99% of the time it works just plugging it in, but that other 1% you might have to go into bios and set the voltage/speed manually.

It does not support that speed (2400mhz) of ram. It's possible that it would run, but only at a much slower speed of 1600mhz, which defeats the purpose of having them.

It depends on the RAM chipsets supported by your processor(core 2 duo/P4/i3/i5). Search about it online and i guess u will get better and faster (better frequency) options than this one. I had an old system so bought this as my only option.

it is a 1333Mhz. Like i said before you would be better off getting the 1333Mhz ram.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

You can run faster memory (1600) in a slower bus speed (1066) without a problem - you'll just be spending more for capability that you can't use. That being said, I usually do buy faster memory so that I can take it with me if I ever upgrade to a faster computer and not have to buy it all over again.

I use that ram on my this MB. I can confirm it works just fine. You just have to select the correct xmp profile to get it to run at 2400mhz

I would say very good, and if you upgraded the RAM to 16 G.B. it makes it splendid.
