[TORO_THE_CAT]

So my friend wanted some help and i cannot find it, but does anyone know what is the max capable ram for a Dell inspiron 13 7352?

Only has one memory slot so 16gb DDR3L SO-DIMM. But it will be very expensive would reccomend 8gb.

The manual states there is only one slot for RAM. It can accept a 4 or 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L SO-DIMM.

Here is a link to the manual. Page 10. http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-13-7352-laptop_Reference%20Guide_en-us.pdf

It does not however list compatible sticks of RAM. Some laptop companies are picky with certain brands of RAM I heard.

Well what if he was to use readyBoost with a spare flash drive will he be able to add 4 gigs to the 8 he already has?

 

[ten80steve]

That's a good question. I have not experimented with readyboost myself. Since readyboost is a software performance increase, it still wouldn't perform as well as real hardware, the RAM.

 

[TORO_THE_CAT]

YA he says he wants it so he can just do more at once.

 

[ten80steve]

If he could right click the task bar and click "start task manager" and go to the performance tab, it will display RAM usage. It be a good idea to have all the programs he runs open to see what his usage actual is. If it's crossing 4GB, then an 8GB stick would definitely be worth while.

Ready boost isn't ram. ready boost would be closer to closer to storage caching

 

[jaguarskx]

ReadyBoost is used to improve hard drive performance. The external USB drive is used as a cache which Windows uses it to store that it anticipates the programs the are currently being used will need.

You can purchase a single 16GB stick of DDR3 SO-DIMM RAM that is compatible with all laptops which uses a Broadwell generation Intel CPU like the i5-5200u. However, it is not cheap. The 16GB stick of RAM is manufactured by Intelligent Memory and there is only one place you can buy it.... for $325.
