What type of RAM do I need for g50vt-x1? Also is max 8gb?

Hey,

I want to make sure before I go buying. I have the default 4gb and want to upgrade to 6 or 8gb. I just needed to make sure what type of RAM I need to buy. I think its DDR2 6400... Also can I upgrade it? Im running 64 bit and this site ( Memory upgrades from Crucial.com - Determine My Memory Needs ) says my max is 4gb? Is this true? Sorry Im not that great with comps... Thanks all.

 

You can put up to 8GB's in your laptop. Since you have 64-bit Windows, everything will work fine. The type would be DDR2 6400, I think you get 8GB's on eBay for $253: 8GB 2x4GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 Memory for HP Pavilion dv7 - eBay (item 190355703459 end time Aug-02-10 18:58:11 PDT)

TX again!

 

Go to Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
That newegg link will take you to their memory finder tool
BAM, that should solve all your problems.

EDIT: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148162 That is the best deal for memory compatible with the g50vt series, 41 dollars for one 2gb stick plus 1 dollar shipping. For your desired 8gb it will come to about 167 USD total that includes shipping and all units are brandnew.

 

Yes, this type will work.

 

He can't get 2GB X 4, he needs 4GB x 2.

 

Yeah I just realized that as an afterthought that it only has 2 slots.

 

TX again guys!

 

Its more like $167 for 1 4gb... The 2x4gb cheapest one there is $279. I was hoping to spend no more then $180. Oh well... Ill have to hold out for now. Thanks again guys
