Hello,

I recently purchased a new laptop that was labeled as using 1066 mHz RAM. When I was reading the comments, there was mention of putting FASTER RAM in the laptop.

How do you determine what the fastest RAM the laptop can use? I know it can support up to 16GB but can I use something other than 1066 mHz?

Many thanks!
