Need some RAM for my Envy

[coolpcguy]

I'm thinking of adding some extra RAM to my Envy 14. It currently has 2x2GB modules and since the laptop has got only 2 slots, I'll have to replace them completely & considering 2x4GB

Any suggestions for the RAM? I'm not sure what the prices for laptop RAM are - I'm in Bangalore & will buy it online. Budget - I'm fairly open, not too expensive though

My CPU-z validation link CPU-Z Validator 3.1

These. Go for 1066mhz ones as first gen support 1066 to be max.

 

[coolpcguy]

Cool, thanks.

 

[dashing.sujay]

Still, I suggest you to get them locally, as sometimes some RAMs don't adjust with the system for unknown reasons.

 

[coolpcguy]

Get locally as in buy from a dealer? So I can return if something's wrong?

 

[clinton]

Yes,thats what sujay's suggesting.
But If u r 100% sure those new sticks wud wrk then go for ol buying.

 

[coolpcguy]

OK. I'll be replacing the existing ones, so guess it won't matter much? Let's see. Just placed an order today on flipkart

 

[dashing.sujay]

Flipkart would most probably replace, but the hassle required is ... Anyways, good luck

 

[coolpcguy]

Thanks, I'll keep ya'll informed. Should be getting the RAM in the next few days

 

[coolpcguy]

Got my RAM delivered today, switched it & working fine, thanks Sujay.

One problem: CPU-z keeps rejecting the validation. Any idea why?

This is the older validation before upgrading:

CPU-Z Validator 3.1

This is the new one:

Tried re-installing CPU-Z? Or using portable version? But why is your new CPU-Z showing 989 socket instead of 1156?

 

[coolpcguy]

I'm using the portable edition. No idea why it's reading wrong :\

 

[dashing.sujay]

Give a try installing non-portable one.

Socket is fine. Laptop sockets are different.

It's Socket G1 btw.

Aren't both validations of laptops (same laptop to be precise) ?

It's an old version in case #1. Which isn't detecting correctly.

It is Socket G1 only.

 

[coolpcguy]

Well, installing it resulted in proper validation
