Toshiba Satellite Ram Upgrade

Toshiba Satellite P750-113 (PSAY3A-02T001)

Specifications

Notebook: Toshiba Satellite P750-113
Processor: Intel Core i5 2410M
Graphics Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

i did it once before but have forgotten how to now,

how do i assess how much RAM my CPU can handle, i have found differing figures. the manual and Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades for Satellite P750-113 state 8GB maximum but have found a site that declares it is good for 16GB RAM RAM Upgrades | Satellite P750 P-Series - max up to 16GB max up to 16GB and here Intel Core i5-2410M - review. CPU Benchmark & Specs | Hitesti

pros and cons for 1x16GB or 2x8GB im thinking power draw as in 1=1.5V or 2x1.5V=3V

i would like to go as big as i can obviously but dont want to get stuck with a RAM i cant use.


cheers

Use a Ram selector e.g. this is very close to your model:

Note this comment:
Mr Memory recommends you install modules in pairs for Dual-channel performance - View Dual-channel Memory Video.

yeah i've actually stumbled across that site before when i was doing upgrades to my main computer...

but thats where i'm unsure, this site says 8GB max but it differs from the other 2 sites i found stating good for 16GB.

wasnt sure if there was a formula that could be used to equate the actual acceptable maximum hence posting all the CPU-Z data.

this is what the CPU is good for (apparently)

Thank you for your reply.

1. As stated. use an accurate site guide to find compatible RAM
2. Technical approach: e.g. try

3. I've told you the answer about
1x16GB or 2x8GB

- and the nominal performance benefit of dual channel- assuming your laptop supports that of course.

yep got that, it does have at least 2 slots so thats the way i'll go for that measure.

the cmd prompt link you supplied would be for W10, the actual machine in question is W7 but i would have thought that irrelevant as far as hardware goes. would this cmd work for W7. ??

lol yeah i know i've got the manual but i refer to this quote from the site i posted

Why don't you ask a Toshiba community support group specialising in your product?

And find a RAM matching site... some let you ask questions if you are in continuing doubt.

Good luck!

@dalchina thanks for your assistance, always grateful....

@eLPuSHeR will definitley go that way.....
