    Olla, i have a G73Jw-XA1 currently with 8gb ddr3 1333 SODIMM. I want to upgarde it to the full 16gb capacity but cant
    find anything that i can understand on the best type of mem i can get.

    Newegg.com - 4gb 1333 ddr3 SODIMM

    This is a few i have found that i know i can use but what about something better like 4gb DDR3 1600 sodimmx4. PC12800, dunno if its compatible but that is basicly the trouble i am having, just dont want to go out and buy the wrong ram. I would appreciate any help you all can give me, just lookn for the best right now. Thxs :rolleyes:

    I think the g73jw only supports up to 1333Mhz of ram. :)

    Doesn't mean you can't buy 1600MHz RAM, it just won't run it at that frequency. (Unless you adjust your bclk)

    Why buy a 1600Mhz, If 1333Mhz is the maximum? :S
