    I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can find the thread. I would like to replace the 2GB RAM stick by a 4GB one. Supposedly a low voltage DDR3 module as the Samsung's MV-3T4G3/US should be installed in this laptop, right? or it is still preferable to use same kind of voltage module like the one soldered at the Mobo (a 1333 MHz one if I'm not wrong)

    Thx

    Any DDR3 SODIMM should work. If you install a 1.35V module then it will be run at 1.5V because support for 1.35V is a new feature of the Ivy Bridge platform. Similarly, if you install a 1600MHz module it will run at 1333MHz to match the on-board RAM.
