I am trying to speed up my gf's laptop with some ram and an SSD.
How can I know which MHz speed does a DDR have?
The current DDR in the laptop is a
PC3L-12800S
Apparently there are several models:
1066/1333/1600MHZ
Which one should you get? Assuming it depends on your motherboard or processor architechture, how can you find out?

what laptop is it?
Lenovo Z50-70
Related question, I have a shitold laptop laying around.
I would like to try Arch Linux or maybe Tails just to see if I migrate from Ubuntu.
The laptop is an acer aspire 4738 series with no harddrive and no RAM. I was thinking on using the old harddrive from the lenovo and buying a pair of DDR sticks for it (the Acer).
How can you know which DDR should you use, and at which speed? is it determined by the motherboard?
>Lenovo Z50-70
does this relate - tomshardware.co.uk
Both MHz and latency play a role. Google benchmarks.
Thanks, I guess I fucked up googling.
I am going to get this one then

Can anyone recommend a good cheap SSD? or is that overkill for a non-gaming laptop that will mostly be used to watch videos and office productivity?
yea mate, google is your fucking friend, next time though yea...also recommend a ssd...google could help also? my personal advice, ssd is fine, gaming or non-gaming, just, if its gonna be a main drive, get something at least 500gb/1tb, but thats just me, it will feel more worthwhile and like you can use it longer, than getting a 256gb
but each to their own.
So this is what Sup Forums has come to in 2017, spoonfeeding literal retards. Serious question, why haven't you killed yourselves yet?
time to kill...was going to once...but yea, didnt go through with it

Seems pretty clear that there is just 1600MHz and not several
>time to kill
You're still making retards feel welcome here by contributing to their worthless threads, is this hard for you to understand? You write like a newshit, too
Why do some RAM specifications for laptops include the S at the end tho?
like PC3- 8500S is the same shit as a PC3-8500
Might be sodimm ?
what does the SO stand for?
Do you even know how to use the internet?
What? Why?
Yeah, why?
Is that your gf? I wouldn't mind coming over and inserting the ram for her.
1600
This. Every DDR 3 Laptop has 1600 MHz.
Not OP but I've also been planning for a while to put more RAM on my laptop. Any good value 4GB RAM sticks Sup Forumsentoomen would recommend?
Are you this salty when anybody asks a question?
>People don't know as much about tech as I do, they must be retarded
The ones that are listed on manufacturer's website.
We have no telepathy abilities.
The answer for this question is literally on the first link in google, a fucking wikipedia article.
Ddr3 1600 sodimm fagdad
I'm just looking for brand and store recommendations for DDR3 1600mhz SODIM 4GB RAM sticks.
Amazon or new egg
I just want my kids back
guys
what happens if you use a PC3-8500 DDR in a laptop that usually uses PC3-12800?
Sure but which brands? I don't want to go full cheap chink, or overpriced Samsung, I'm at loss here
Are you trying to get me to rewatch AD once again
The cheapest one is perfectly fine for what you are doing. Just make sure it has a warranty. If it's not dead in a month you're probable okay.
Post pic of gf.
Are u guys trolling? Ram speed makes no difference, even if it's faster latency candles it out.
Just buy what's cheap op
Buy the largest modules you can for reusability and upgradability.
Search ebay
Shit I just noticed those are 2x2GB
Newegg doesn't ship to my country anyway so I'm looking through Amazon now.
what cunt?
>"gf"
I don't think your mom needs that much ram, user
>PC3L-12800S
That would be low-voltage DDR3-1600MHz RAM, OP.
Also this belongs in
Just download some, you fucking newfag
Why can't your mom be your GF?
Most cancerous thread of the day. Just a couple of years ago, anons would have been shitting all over the cocksucking OP before a mod would get around to deleting the thread.
It's also violating the rules
