What Memory to buy?

[mk2singh]

Hi all

Im new here. Needed some help on which memory I need to buy for my laptop

Its an Acer 8943G with 8gb installed (2x4Gb) and I used the crucial system scanner and it says I can go up to 16gb however I had it checked by a tech person for another problem and he said it reads up to 24gb as he installed 16gb more (2x8gb) to check


So I am confused on what I need to buy regarding speed etc?

Id ideally like performance memory because I do a lot of CAD and photoshop work.

Heres screen shots from CPUZ and crucial

Competitor pricing removed - Rilot


I was looking at this set of memory: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-342-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1264

Would this work for my laptop?


Thanks in advance

oops sorry didnt know about that

How can I find out what speed my system can handle?

 

[mk2singh]

well on CPUZ it was showing that the current speed of the installed memory is 1333 mhz

But I cant see any performance ram in the overclockers shop

How do I check for the options in BIOS?

Should I just get memory which is the same speed as my current ones?

Just checked the BIOS, couldnt see any options for memory settings


Thanks for your help
