Hi friends

My laptop hard disk died recently, so i will have to replace the hard disk, so i thought that i should also upgrade my RAM.

I have Lenovo B490 laptop

Toshiba 500 GB HDD
2 GB RAM (not sure which one)
Intel PDC 2.2 Ghz processor

Now i have to change the hdd with any suitable WD hdd like 1 TB or 500 GB which gives more years of warranty - Suggestion

I have two slot of RAM one, in one slot is occupied with 2 GB RAM (not sure DDR # or frequecy), I use multiboot windows 7 ubuntu, and other distros, i want to upgrade the ram. please hlep on this

> Do i need to buy the exact same RAM if i keep the old ram installed
> i have one 2 GB RAM, so can i use any 4 GB ram in another vacant slot
> what will be price of 2 Gb and 4 GB ram in market and warranty
> is there any specific ram to be buy or i can buy any laptop ram and install
> suggest some good brand with good warranty

Thanks in advace

how much it will cost online and from shop

can i use it with existing 2 gb ram
Click to expand...

it may cost 2.5k. you can use with your current ram.
check this.Transcend DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (JM1333KSN-4G) - Transcend: Flipkart.com. i will prefer corsair though.

i am switching fully to Linux and will use Windows 7 only for limited purpose,

will linux work fine with 2 GB + 4 GB = 6 GB ram setup

my ram works on 1.5 v, do i have to buy the ram with same volts,

the current ram i have is Ramaxel ram at 1600 mhz, but my procceor is Intel Pentium B960 which support maximum 1333 mhz,

the ram runs at 1333 mhz but it is actually 1600 mhz , so will it be fine if i pair it with 1333 mhz ram or should get 1600 mhz ram

Corsair DDR3 2 GB Laptop RAM (CMSO2GX3M1A1333C9) - Corsair: Flipkart.com --- Rs 1600


4 GB option

Corsair DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (CMSO4GX3M1B1333C9/CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9) - Corsair: Flipkart.com --- Rs 2850
