[SOLVED] Upgrading the cpu in a laptop, can I upgrade the ram above the standard too?

[frariky]

Hi all,

I have a laptop Asus k70IO with the specs listed here:

https://www.asus.com/Laptops/K70IO/specifications/

(in detail: cpu T4200 and Windows 10 64bit)

If I upgrade the CPU T4200 with a CPU T9900, is it possible to upgrade the ram with 8Gb?

According to the official specs, the ram can be expanded up to 4Gb.

Thanks

Nope, the motherboard/chipset is the issue, and CRUCIAL agrees that the limit is 4GB.

Thank you for your reply,
if the mch (memory control hub or North bridge) is inside the cpu, I think it is possible... or I'm wrong?
