Lenovo ThinkPad AMD A6-5350M RAM upgrade?

[willss]

I bought this laptop and I am looking to upgrade the RAM from 4g to more for gaming. Any recommendations? I'd like to stay under 80$. Is this something I can install myself? I've added RAM to PC's but never a laptop. Thanks!!

it's the grafix and the cpu

well even if you want to satisfy yourself

Thanks for the advice! I'm checking that video now. I had heard Nvidia or Radeon would be decent to play some games like Diablo 3 and not lag to hell. Sometimes it's great.

Actually, if your laptop has DDR3 1333 (or lower speed) RAMs, installing DDR3 1600 will provide a slight boost in your frames using a Richland APU.

The over-riding issue, however, is the A6-5350M APU only has 192 Radeon cores at 533MHz --- you may be able to OC the graphics engine a bit but it will struggle against a similar APU with up to 384 Radeon cores, or the new Kaveri with up to 512 'GCN' Radeon cores ...
