RAM Compatability for HM55 chipsets

[tslim2696]

Hi guys, I have a laptop with following specs:

Intel Pentium P6200 (HM55 Chipset)
2 x 2GB PC10600 DDR3.

My question is, can I buy 2x of 4GB PC12800 of DDR3L for my laptop? my RAM is always 80% usage, even with fresh install of Win10 with HDD.

Mention your laptop model number or Motherboard model number.

Or try Memory Advisor tool from Crucial or MemoryStock

Crucial says I can upgrade to 2x DDR3 PC3-12800 while Memory Stock gave me 4GB of PC3-10600. I read from ARK that my chipset are supposed to accept 2x 4GB of RAM though it never mention what speed.

My motherboard model is A42JZ & Laptop Model is A42J Series.

Recommended speed by the manufacturer is DDR3 1333MHz.

PC3-12800 (DDR3 or DDR3L) may work, and if it is not compatible spec, it can under-clock and operate at PC3-10600.

It is better to buy the PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) instead.

Thanks for your time to answer my question. Will proceed to buy them

Curse of HM55 Chipset:
The problem is that the HM55 chipset does not recognize modules assembled with inserts RAM 512Mx8bits ... having your limit 256Mx8bits.
So make sure that the memory module that will buy your mount has taken 16 tablets 256Mx8bits, otherwise will not work.
