    Hi,

    I have a Sony Vaio Fit 15A with i7-4500u CPU and 1 bar of 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM.
    Can I upgrade my RAM to 2x 8GB 1866HMz or 2133MHz?

    Will Vaio support these frequencies or will the frequencies just be downclocked to 1600MHz?

    Thanks!

    OK, I just found out, that the i7-4500u CPU only supports DDR3L 1333/1600MHz, which means that memory with frequency higher than 1600MHz will be downclocked to 1600MHz.
