    I just bought a SZ 370 secondhand and test CPU-Z found the RAM brand is "infineon", while I have seen the brandnew SZ450 of my friend had Transcend RAM that is one of the most expensive RAM in the market.
    So I just wonder if Sony used various kind of RAM or the one installed in my SZ is not original one? :confused:

    Think if you run CPU-Z it'll tell you, your specific brand.

    Now I am running Patriots.

    Will not help have 667 memory. The BIOS will limit to 533 anyway.

    Regards.
