Need to upgrade memory, problem..

Hi All,

We bought the new Envy 15 with 8GB of 1600Mhz memory installed. We need to upgrade to 16GB ASAP. The documentation says that 8GB is the max memory for 1600 speed. However, I found the product below (2x 8GB 1600):
Newegg.com - CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10

Will the above work in the machine?

If not.. what do you suggest we do (we DEF need to upgrade to 16GB)?

Thanks,
Dan

 

Why do you need 16GB of RAM?

 

I wouldn't be asking for it if I didn't need it.. we work with huge photoshop files. Memory literally runs out.

Anyone can provide some help? Thx

 

It should work. Wouldn't the memory down clock itself to work like installing 1333 MHz ram on i5 but still running.

 

How many threads are you going to ask this question in? Past 8gb, the laptop only supports 1333mhz. Its in the documentation that you read. Do you not believe the documentation?

If you buy 1600mhz, chances are the system will downclock it to 1333mhz. A waste of money, otherwise, to spend on 1600mhz.

Buy what the manufacturer recommends; 2x8gb at 1333mhz.

 

The 16GB 1600mhz will work on our envy 15 since we have the upgraded CPU (i7-2860QM), I confirmed this on Intel's website.

 

It would work, downclocking itself if necessary.

 

I didn't say you didn't need it, nor did I imply it. I asked why. Most people don't, so I wondered what you did that required so much. Thanks for answering. But for the record, if you hadn't needed it, you wouldn't have been the first total stranger in the world on a message board to want something unnecessary, so I wouldn't have taken it personally.
