    You can easily run a 2x2 + 2x4 config.

    7.4/7.5/7.2/7.2/7.8

    Honestly more RAM doesn't really change WEI, faster RAM though... However, if you have a need for the extra RAM, i did so i switched to 12 and then 16GB, go for it.

    I have a 3x4 + 1x2 = 14gb DDR3 1333mhz running without any issues for 2 months now. This weekend I am going to install the last 4gb piece as I am opening the whole note to change the cpu (i720 --> 920xm)and to do a full repaste.

    Crucial M4 128GB running in AHCI mode.

    If you want more detailed info on WEI, use command prompt and type in winsat query.

    SATA 2 of course, i mean it is a G73JH, so there is no SATA 3. I get 7.9 with a 64GB M4 on SATA 3 in my desktop.
