Hi,

I have a lenovo Flex 2 -14 (59- 429729) notebook. It came with a RAM of 4 GB. I upgraded to Windows 10 and I am planning to upgrade my RAM as well.
This notebook has two RAM slots of which only one is filled with a 4GB stick. I want to add another one in the other slot. Please suggest me if I should use another 4 GB or 8 GB stick and also what would be the best RAM freq to buy. The CPU is Intel C i5.

The Corsair Vengeance models will be suitable for Laptops ? Can you please tell me what frequency and model will be the best suitable one. Thanks in advance.

Alright so from where I can se you have a 800mhz ram which ain't very fast. Your options
1. Get one more 4 gb 800 mhz ram
2. Get one 1600 mhz 8 gb ram depending on your budget.
Deciding among these is your choice.

I wouldn't have a problem going for 1600 8 Gb one but will it support the board ?

I face a similar situation some time back when the 1333 ram i bought was only only detected to half its capacity by my desktop.

I am not sure where i can find out how much freq and limit ram i can use on this lappy.

it is not a 800mhz ram.. it is actually 1600mhz.. so he can go for a 4gb 1600mhz ram with a matched timings for a total of 8gb

Yeah... It is 1600 Mhz... DDR means Double Data Rate so 2x800 = 1600 Mhz... [MENTION=159164]$hadow[/MENTION] and [MENTION=126616]sameermanas[/MENTION]



Basics really!!! :p

I suppose you would need a 4GB DD3L RAM (1.35V), 204 pin, CAS 11 Latency to match with current RAM installed. This helps to run in Dual channel config at full speed (1600MHz).

Pick your brand but matching above specs.
