    Hi!

    After 3 years I decided to upgrade my Qosmio F50 with new SSD and extra memory.

    With disc, I'm pretty much decided on Intel 320 120GB SSD, unless you recommend something different maybe?

    But I have problem with deciding what memory size to take. Now I have 3,072 (2,048 + 1,024) MB DDR2 (800MHz), and CPU-z says it runs in dual channel mode with timings 6-6-6-18(on memory stick it says 6-6-6-12?). I was looking at Patriot DDR2 SO-DIMM 4 GB 800 MHz, and it says just Cas latency 6. I haven't found on internet what timings it has so I have this question:
    If I buy 1(one) memory stick(Patriot) and replace it with 1GB stick in laptop, will old 2GB + new 4 GB work in dual channel, or do I have to buy 2 x 4GB (Patriot)?

    Thanks for all the answers!
