Hi all,

I would like some advice on a couple of memory upgrades for my GL503VM laptop.

Firstly, it has 8GB RAM already but I would like to install another 8GB. When I ran Speccy, it stated it was single channel CL17. So can I essentially add another CL17 module of any make into the spare slot and it will work?!

Secondly, I also want to upgrade the M.2 SSD. It currently has a 128GB one that came with it but I want to increase the speed and size and would like to know if you guys have any, not too pricey suggestions?

Many thanks for looking,

Diym

Thanks for the link, and i have been there before!

Will these modules work OK with whats installed on my laptop? Speccy doesn't state the RAM already installed, just - 8.00GB Single-Channel Unknown @ 1196MHz (17-17-17-39).

Also, i should have been more specific with the storage, its an M.2 NVME i am after but Crucial doesn't seem to suggest any? I have seen the P1 been mentioned and it reviews fairly well but is it significantly better than what I have - 119GB SanDisk SD8SN8U128G1002 (SATA (SSD))?

Many thanks,

Diym
