Run this tool: CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
Post the ram specs(like, speed and timings).

I have the same laptop and i bought the corsair vengeance ram. Either go for that or gskill but make sure you go for a 1600mhz ram ad not the 1333mhz.
IMO corsair vengeance is really good.

Get this: G.Skill SQ DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) Laptop RAM (F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com

1600MHz won't work, in dual mode both rams run at lowest settings, and afaik HP Bios won't allow you to OC the rams, someone shed some light on this.

Check CPU Z, what speed are those rams running at?

Friend I used this utility Rammon

It showed my currently installed Ram as 1600mhz one.

Sorry but my knowledge is very minimal in terms of hardware specs. Please help me.

Re: HP Pavilion G6 20xx/2201/23xxAX - powered by Trinity

Someone on the forums told me to get 1600mhz ram because if i get a 1333mhz ram my current 1600mhz ram will downclock to 1333mhz which is not good.

Download and run this tool: CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
If its running at 1600Mhz it will show this:

Else it will show 665Mhz on the DRAM freq.

Well, Harsh Pranami's CPU Z link shows otherwise, his rams are running at 1333MHz, check yours, and do check Bios, if there is a way to change the freq of those rams from there.

If one of your modules run @ 1333, both will run at 1333, as in dual channel both rams run at lowest speed.

Rammon shows the installed RAM is of 1600mhz. But CPU Z shows they are running at 1333mhz. I wonder if it requires some tweaking in BIOS.

Bro, can you please post the screenshot of CPU Z memory tab from your lappy? I want to make sure if this problem is only in my laptop or others also. Please

What I think is that the RAMs are capable of running at 1600MHz, its just that they are running at 1333Mhz, anyway with CPU Z, check this tab, check the slots, ram could be in any slot, post the details of the default ram here:
*i.imgur.com/TdluUvB.jpg

See here, if I run Jedec#4 I get 1333Mhz, which is the default speed of the RAM, but I use XMP profile(its a oc'ed setting) and get 1600MHz, I can OC more(1800MHz), but 1600MHz is a guaranteed OC.

Sorry bro. Which tab of cpu z? The image is not being displayed in my browser.

SPD tab, check the slots, one slot should show the ram.

So your rams can run at 1600Mhz, ok open BIOS and check if RAM timings can be changed. And then if its allowed, use timings 800Mhz(i.e 1600MHz), and the 4 latencies in order 11-11-11-30, and try to boot.


PS: This is risky, in pc if something happens you just have to reset the mobo, but that option is not available in laptops, you have to open laptop to reset the CMOS clock, recommended that you don't do this, just get the GSkill RAM I suggested and install it in your laptop and call it a day, for laptops 1333 and 1600 won't make heaven and earth difference.

Disclaimer: I will no way be responsible if you brick your laptop doing this, if any other users have tried this, he can comment here.

I'll go forward with the Gskill ram. But still wouldn't it be better if I buy a 1600mhz.Just in case I need to tweak that setting in BIOS in future.I won't do it now though since my lappy is only 2 months old.

Of course, G.Skill DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (F3-12800CL11S-4GBSQ) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com

I just wanted to save you 400/-, cause no matter how old I wouldn't tweak with my lappy, a wrong ram timing can literally brick it for good.

been trying to boost the performance of my G6-2005AX for months now but still no use.
Disabling dual graphics... enabling them... putting in high performance mode .. all done but still old games like tf2 gives me 10 fps ..

would really appreciate it if someone actually knows any more methods ?
cheers

The problem should be with the game not with lappy. I get about 30fps while playing battlefield 3(dx11 mode) in auto settings in which most options are set at ultra or high. But when I play some other game like amazing spider man (dx9) I get only 15fps. And the same amazing spider man runs like butter on nvidia's 410m which is equivalent to intel hd 3000.
