hello everyone,
I have a speed issue with my notebook (NP300E5Z, Intel Core i3 2350M) and I thought adding RAM memory could speed up a little bit.
The problem is, that i am not sure which modul should i buy.
According to the my research, the current module is 4gb adata 1333MHz, but CPU-z tool shows(Memory Frequency 665.1 MHz (1:5))

Now, considering old processor, will additional RAM help me to speed up things?
How much memory is supported by this notebook model? After some research, i find that this notebook can have up to 8 GB of memory
Should i stick to adata manufacturer, or is it ok to buy 1333 mhz CL9 from other manufacturers?

Thanks!

Hello,

Yes, 8GB of memory is the maximum this Samsung Laptop supports. It has 2 slots and max per slot is 4GB. Yes, adding memory helps speeding up the system. No, you don't have to match the manufacturer if you are matching the memory specs that'd do. Something like this one should work fine.
