Memory upgrade which one is better ?

[niba10]

I have now 4GB and its not enough for me I need 8GB+ what RAM you recommend to me I have this laptop:

lenovo z580

i7 3632Q 2.20GHZ

intel 4000 + gt 635m

4gb ram

120gb samsung evo 840 ssd

between those :

1) Sodimm Kingston ValueRam 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3

2) Corsair 1x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Vengeance SODIMM

3)Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Low Voltage

Any RAM would do just fine as other DIMMs very rarely have a greater performance difference versus other DIMMs; but make sure you get a 2x4GB kit. That way you can activate dual channel mode and get more memory bandwidth. It would increase boot times and application loading times alongside your SSD. Also try to go for lower voltage so you can save more battery. This kit would do you nicely

So i can buy two of this :

Sodimm Corsair 4GB Low Voltage 1600Mhz DDR3L


and put them in dual channel ?

It should be okay. The main rule is when you pick multiple RAM's always try to pick same model and manufacturer. About 2x4GB or 1x8GB there are a lot of reviews on google, but what I have read it doesn't give a significant boost in performance, but still a BOOST! )

Oh and when you buy a pair of them put them in right slots for best dual performance, refer to motherboard manual for this. Usually slots are color coded.

Edit: Though not sure about how many slots are in laptops. On a standard ATX mobo there are 4 slots, but I haven't really dealt with laptops, so maybe my words about slots are not relevant.

I believe you can dual channel it. And the ram should work just fine.

Choosing RAM is usually not a problem. Seriously choose any one, there are no bad brands these days, the bad ones already died.

Choose at least a dual channel kit or just add one 4GB stick more, modern Intel memory controllers can use dual channel with different modules.

Dual is the way to go, hard to go wrong with most major manufacturers.

Laptops are not my strong point but for any ram keep in mind you lower cas is better and higher speed is better so if it was cas 11 1866 vs 9 1600 I would rather have the 1600, hope this makes sense to you and helps you decide what ram you want

I suggest you go to crucial.com 's website - a leading memory supplier. On their site you'll find details of memory and more important, there's a utility for checking the existing RAM on your computer and suggesting upgrade paths. Run that on your computer and see what it suggests. Once you've found out what you need there is no obligation to buy crucial memory - you can shop anywhere for it.
