    16 GB Ram upgrade make a difference?(And few other ram related Qs)


    I have a laptop that comes with 2 x 4 GB rams (Hyundai DDR3 PC3-12800 (800MHz)) with a GPU that has 4 GB ram dedicated and 4 GB shared , and i have few questions about :

    1 - When I play games I usually do it in full hd and have most settings at high and check with performance tab in task manager only to find it consuming 3 GBs max of dedicated memory and non from shared while consumption of system rams may well be under 80% , while this indicates everything is under control would a 16 GB upgrade make a difference in performance ?

    2 - If nor the manufacturer or the internet would say the laptop can operate a 8 x 2 GB rams how can i make sure they would work if the purchase would be an overseas non refundable one , would them be DDR3 PC3-12800 be enough ?

    3 - Vendors on the internet claim their rams are DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600MHz) is that because when they run at dual channel the bus speed multiplies x 2 ?

    4 - Why is it on CPU-Z it measures NB-Frequency to be 2494 MHz while the internet claims for a DDR3 1600MHz the numbers should be 2200 , are some rams better than others ?

    5 - There are some vendors that sell DDR3 PC3-15000 (1866MHz) but I only find them as a 4 GB x 2 , would these work better or at all for my laptop ?

    6 - I get to see non ECC rams have 8 small chips on board and some have 4 big ones , are there virtues for which over one another ?

    :)

    how to upgrade Ram from 8 to 16 gb?

    Hey Madan. This is not a Windows issue or Microsoft issue but I'll try to help.

    To go from 8 GB RAM to 16 GB. You will have to actually purchase COMPATIBLE 16 GB sticks of RAM then install them. Dell Inspiron might have more information on what kind of RAM is compatible with your PC.

    Getting more RAM is not a simple troubleshooting fix and if you are on a laptop, it might be impossible.
