    RAM channel


    Hello! I have upgraded my RAM from 4gb single channel to 2x8. Today I checked cpu-z and it showed that my RAM sticks are running on single channel, but in task manager i see that 2 from 2 RAM slots are being used and i have 16gb of rams. Is it supposed to be like that or not?I have HP ProBook 455 G5.CPU - AMD A9-9420GPU - AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

  3. To RAM or not to RAM...

    Hey genesis what hardware have you bought, you might be able to save on the ram and step up the rest of the hardware a little...

    Or you could go out on the town as suggested... *Big Grin RAM channel :D

    Ram Upgrade

    My laptop is a HP ProBook 4540s with 4 GB RAM installed. My question is

    What is the largest amount of Ram I can upgrade it to? Should I add a 4GB chip or have it removed to install 1 8GB chip?

    Is there a large cost difference? I am running the latest version of Windows 10 Pro.

    • Standard
      • DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)
        Two SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory.
        2GB and 4GB SODIMMs
    • Maximum
      • Upgradeable to 8192MB with optional 4096MB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2.
    • Dual-channel
      • Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.
