I have a Lenovo H330 Desktop (I know this forum states Laptop but can't find a desktop equivalent and the question could apply to a laptop too)
The H330 is specified to take PC3-10600 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM (though faster also works) however when trying to buy I often find sellers of this module type specify AMD only and the H330 is Intel.
The AMD only specification is due to chip density and was a restriction for DDR2 and DDR3 for early Intel models.
The H330 is specified to take up-to 4GB ram sticks, but in reality it can actually take at least 8GB sticks (not sure what the limit would be) so I`m wondering if it has a wider acceptance window.
My question is can the H330 take high density DDR3 RAM, or is it an early Intel variant that cannot or is there a way to tell when an Intel based board can or cannot accept high density memory sticks.
I have tried to ask this question at the Lenovo Forum, but but seems new posts are not allowed there anymore!!
