Would there be any issue replacing 2 4GB sticks with these 2? I have 4 4GB at the moment and want to upgrade. Same speed, same model.

You can use two of these with 2 of the 4GB you currently have with no problem. I'm currently doing the same myself. Just make sure you alternate the slots you place the in. Such as 1&3 for one set and 2&4 for the other set.

You can replace one of the two sticks of 2 GB of RAM, which means you will have 6 GB. Before you proceed with this configuration, I recommend you confirm both RAM sticks (new and old) are the same speed (1600MHz).

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

Jordan, depending on what your computer will handle (max gigs of ram) you will need to use compatible memory. For instance, if you have the 512K in there now, you will remove them and put the 2 sticks of 1GB ram in its place. If you system will handle 4GB of total ram then you would buy 4 of them and use each slot. They will not work together as its either one or the other meaning you cannot use the 512 with the 1GB. Hopefully that answers your question. I had the same RAM in my machine and by replacing just the 2 as my old system would only capacitate 2GB it became much faster! Sincerely, Greg

Yes, it's a really easy upgrade to 8GB. There's one slot, take 2GB out and put the 8GB stick in.

I have 2 and have used them with 32gb and they both worked fine. That's as big as I've gone.

Yes. make sure to go through the memory confciguration process after restarts or go into ur BIOS. Should run 20% better on each stick u install. have a nice day.

Hi Cet, There weren't a lot of computers that were built to accept the DDR2 4GB module. Being a rare part, it is quite expensive. ***Please verify that your machine can take a 4GB module before purchasing.*** I have included a link below to the 4GB DDR2 module. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4DTZT2 Thanks, Trish Customer Care Arch Memory

You can use 2 sticks of 8GB each for a total of 16 GB. If you are using Linux instead of Windows you may need to download new chipset drivers.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Don't have that machine myself, but according to the specs for it, these modules should work just fine in it. Not sure how much memory you currently have in the machine, but you will want to remove whatever is in the two slots and replace with this pair of 2 GB modules. At that point you are max'd out on that machine at 4 GB.

Looking at the specs of the memory, you should have no problem. But why would you just run a single 4GB stick on a gaming mobo?

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

Has anybody tried a single 4GB stick of RAM in this? I'm wondering if it would work.

If you're asking if you can use the one 4gb that comes with it along with a single 8gb stick I would guess that you could possibly do that. However, its going to be a crap shoot as to whether they'll work together. Even matching manufacturer and speed doesn't guarantee it will work correctly all the time. I would suggest just getting a matched set. I went with a higher performance 1866mhz, which definitely wouldn't work with the stock, otherwise I'd give it a shot to see if its possible for you, but either way my recommendation would be to just spend the extra money to avoid issues.
