    I ordered a p150em from xoticpc (arriving next week) and was planning to install 16gb ram when it arrived. I'm in between these two:

    mushkin, Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model 997038
    or
    g.skill, Newegg.com - G.SKILL 16GB (2 x 8G) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model F3-1600C10D-16GSQ

    one runs 1.35v and the other 1.5v, is that a concern? Dunno what motherboard the laptop will have. Also, I plan on getting another 16gb later (in a couple months), so I'd order the same model then. Any more details I should provide? Or advice?

    more info: I'll be video editing heavily with some gaming as well. I have not oc'd before but haven't had a laptop that has worked without kinks (current laptop's fan is broke) so I plan on trying that out a bit if, when I figure it out, it seems worth it.

    you should know that you cant oc the p150em, the bios doesnt allow it :) unless you go with mythlogic who does custom bios.

    weell concerning RAM, u could always OC with thaiphoon burner, costs 20 bucks and u could flash it to speeds of up to 2133 mhz :p so far users have reported that samsung ram is the best ocable and 1.35v is always better than 1.5v cuz u can always "overvolt" it back to 1.5v in order for it to run more stable at higher clocks :)
