Hello, I have recently bought a used HP Pavilion dv6-6052ea, because it sounded like a great deal for 40Euros. It has an i7-2630QM, AMD Radeon HD 7490M, 4GB of RAM and a 700GB HDD. I already bought a SU650 240GB SSD for it and am planning to add more memory. It currently has a Micron 16JSF51264HZ-1G4D1 4GB 1333Mhz CL9 single RAM module. When I opened the cover of the laptop, I noticed, that there are two slots. Should I buy a new kit of RAM or buy a single RAM stick with similar specifications and put it next to the existing one? If I can buy a single RAM stick with similar specifications, would a G.Skill F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ 4GB RAM Stick with as of what I can tell, exact same specs, fit into my laptop? Would there be any disadvantages to having mixed RAM?
If I have to buy an entirely new kit of RAM, would my laptop support 1600Mhz, or would I need to buy a lower clocked model? Would a G. Skill F3-12800CL9D-8GBSQ 2x4GB 1600Mhz CL9 kit work?
Are there any better suggestions?
Thank you!
