Change RAM memory 2x8GB in my ASUS N550JV - worth it

[nematehr]

I've been thinking about upgrading the ASUS N550JV "original" Kingston ValueRAM memory 16GB ( 2x8GB ) with HyperX Impact memory 16GB ( 2x8GB) .
Already change HDD with SAMSUNG PRO SSD.
What shall I get with substituting with faster RAM - is it worth?
Awaiting Your serious comments/suggestions (I don't want to buy better netbook, thanks).
Thanks and best regards,
Nenad

Hi nematehr
save your money any gain you do get which will be minimal will not be worth the cost
edit: replacing 16gb ram with 16gb ram is pointless unless you are going for faster ram speeds or bandwidth
slight differences in cas latencys will be barely noticable
exactly what are the specs of both sets of memory , timings voltages speed ?

Why exactly do you want to upgrade and what are you doing with the device ? gaming or just browsing ???

No. You haven't even said what speed they run at. Fast ram at best will get you 1 or 2 fps increase in games.

I'm prevalently intend to use it for my amateur video and photo hoby and yes for gaming and for browsing I use my tablet.......

As understood this new fast line of RAM memory is now in line ( adjusted ) with new i7 processors and ssd disc. If it increased any process in my laptop it has sense for me - if somebody can give me exact ( professional ) answer, appreciate. Surely I don't want to spend my funds in cosmetic upgrade....

You printed identical specs for each of them. Its a waste of time and money changing to identical ram.

save your money m8 , it won't be an upgrade at all , you will notice no difference only a lighter bank account
