    You can install whatever combination of compatible memory you choose. The only downside to your plan being it probably won't run in dual channel mode(Or four slots = quad channel?).

    That would depend on what cpu you have.

    If you have an Intel® Core™ i7-620M/ i5 / i3 platform, then no.

    If you have an Intel® i7-720QM / i7-820QM platform, then yes.

    In the PDF file above, search for 'RAM' and note that the order of the modules matter.

    It should work and really loss of dual channel memory is not so much since the G73JH has no iGPU...
