    Hi,

    I'm planning on upgrading my memory from the stock BTOTech memory of 2 GB to 3 (unless it can recognize four, I don't believe so).

    Is it recommended to simply replace one of the sticks with a 2 GB?
    Would the two sticks recognize each other?
    Would you recommend buying a new 2 and 1?
    Which companies work best with the C90?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    2. Yes

    That thread hasn't been updated since:
    Edit: I just updated it. Isn't as flashy, but should do.

    When using 2GB sticks of RAM with the C90S, you will have to look for SuperTalent of something like that (w/ Micron IC) if you wan to be problem free.

    Yeah that's what I put in my F8Sn. Never heard of it til I saw it at Newegg but it improved my ram scores by a couple tics. Plus I've noticed on other forums with different notebook models nobody's had bad stuff to say about G.Skill.

    Yeah but it depends. My corsair 1GB works well while Ken stopped using them because they tend to crash it. Now they use what I linked
