    While my new comp is being shipped to me I wanted to buy some low voltage ram to stick into the computer. I'm pretty technically savy, but I'm not a pro and I was looking for some help in deciding which ram works best for me. I only have the 1 slot open and I believe the laptop supports 1.35v ram.

    Is having 12 gigs of ram worth it? Newegg.com - Crucial 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CT102464BF1339

    if not, which one of these works the best.

    Newegg.com - Crucial 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Laptop Memory Model CT51264BF1339

    Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory Model MV-3T4G3/US

    Just FYI: there is absolutely no need to use Low Voltage memory.
    Actually you won't be able to measure any battery difference too :)

    I went with that not because of power savings, just being anal since the ones soldered on board are low voltage modules.
