Hi,
Am planning to upgrade my RAM from existing 3GB[1GB in Slot 1, 2GB in Slot 2] to 6GB.
There are 2 dedicated slots for RAM
[Slot1: Engraved with 1.5V 5.2R LTK] - Elpida 1GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600S-9-10-B1 - Single Rank
[Slot2: Engraved with 1.5V 9.2R LTK] - Samsung 2GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600S-09-10-ZZZ - Single Rank
My Config as follows,
CPU: Intel Core i3 M380 @2.53GHz
Motherboard: Hewlett-Packard 1425 54.57
Memory: DDR3, Channel# Dual, Symmetric DC Mode, CAS# Latency (CL) 7.0 clocks
Out of curiosity, I rearranged the RAM modules leaving Samsung to Slot 1& Elpida to Slot 2. Unfortunately, my Laptop didn't boot. I reverted them to their initial state, everything works fine.
I thought of purchasing an additional 4GB RAM Module which can be replaced with the existing in Slot 1. But the scenario reflected made me dumb about my purchase. Could you please let me know, whether I can purchase any sort of 4GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM Module irrespective of the engravings[1.5V 5.2R LTK, 1.5V 9.2R LTK], to be installed in either of the slots resulting 6GB of RAM in total.
Regards,
Harish.
