I have a Dell Inspiron 1564 laptop (Intel core i3) that originally came with 2x2GB memory. I wanted to upgrade the memory, and I happen to have the Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB at 1600 mhz available.
I stalled the memory cards into my laptop, but in BIOS, it shows the memory speed is 1066 mhz. I tried to modify it to 1600 mhz but it won't let me (i.e., that area can not be modified).
Questions:
(1) How can I modify the memory speed from default 1066 mHz to 1600 mHz?
(2) If I can't modify it, how big of an impact will it have on my laptop performance?
Thanks a lot for your help!
