[SOLVED] Which RAM should I add to my laptop with processor 2133 MHz speed...?

[srujan29]

Actually, I want to upgrade my laptop RAM. So, when I was searching for compatible RAM for my laptop I got to know that it was already pre-installed(inbuilt) with 4GB 2666 MHz? Do I need to add 8GB of 2400 MHz or 2666MHz?
Specifications
--Motherboard: 832A
--Processor: Intel Core i5 7200U (7th gen)
--Motherboard Clock speed ranges from 2400-2666 MT/s
--The processor supports DDR4-2133.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

We're going to need a little more information. Can you please parse the make and model of your laptop? An SKU to said laptop will help us two fold. Since the i7 on your laptop supports a maximum frequency of 2133MHz, even if your motherboard chipset supported higher frequencies, you'll be running 2133MHz effectively.

Why not shop for an exact match for what you have?
Won't 8GB be enough?

It does not support in pairs. Either (8x1) or (8x1 & 4x1) or (4x1).

I think what the pairs thing is saying is you do not have to install in pairs.
Not that you can't install in pairs.
