    Anyone has done it?
    What memory did you purchase? I'm looking for 4x2GB modules but I need to know the exact specs of the memorys that came with the product.

    DDR3 1066 or DDR 1333, Brand.

    Just trying to avoid compatibility problems.

    Thanks

    The Envy 15 with the Core i7 uses DDR3 1333 RAM. Any good name brand memory should do the trick.

    Thanks everyone! :)
    I'll target for the 1333 version. Probably a Corsair.

    If that is the i7, the i5 uses PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz.
