It is an i5-4200U CPU. So you 99% sure it won't break my system? I did read online about memory lanes supported and I'm no hardware geek, but this thing about crossing the max specified amount confuses me. Why even specify it as 12gb when it can support 16gb as you say. My next question to you...

So you mean to say that my laptop even though it specifies max 12gb support, it will be able to take in 16gb total and not cause an issue? Isn't that weird? Does it mean that it will use only 12gb from the available 16gb? Because it clearly specifies 12288 MB (8192 MB×1+ 4096 MB×1) . The 4gb...

Manual, page 2-3 http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04438537 Two SODIMM customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots DDR3L-1600-MHz dual channel support DDR3L-1600-MHz single channel support Supports up to 12 GB max system memory (DDR3L-1600MHz module), (select models only)...

Not sure if another version of the laptop is available. But mine is the Indian version. How do I verfiy this? Cause hp has removed the max ram specs from their product info. It is available on some hp forums and Amazon where it states 12gb max.

I can clearly see it reaching 7.8gb and then my laptop freezes up. I assume it needs more memory. Chrome itself takes up a huge chunk. You need to explain why 12gb is not better than 8gb. I want to understand what happens when my laptop demands more. I understand I lose dual channel. So does it...

It was on the HP website for the laptop model and other websites that list my laptop model. If the max is 12gb how will 2x8GB DDR3L 1600MHz RAM work? What about performance upgrading from 8gb dual channel to 12gb?

I own a HP pavilion n209tx laptop. The hp website states max RAM capacity is 12gb. Currently I have 4gb*2 on both slots. I would like to know if replacing one 4gb with an 8gb stick of same frequency will affect performance? I see that running photoshop+lightroom and adobe Bridge at the same time...
