How to Find if Laptop Supports 1666MHz Ram?

bruce20 · Mar 31, 2014

As the title says, I want to know how to find out if my laptop supports 1666MHz Ram or not. I would say, I don't know the exact model number, but other specs are

HP G6 Pavilion Core i3, 2.53 380M Processor (I purchased this laptop in Mid 2011)
4GB DDR3. (2X2GB)

I'm considering. http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Laptop-Memory-CMSX8GX3M2A1600C9/dp/B006EWUOL8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396232923&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+laptop+memory+8gb+1600

Thanks.

One thing I'm sure of is, it DOES Support upto 8GB Ram. And it has 2 slots.

Well, there are 2 ways :3
1. Use dxdiag.
Search dxdiag in the start button or press Windows+R and type it there. Just run that and you can find out a lot about your computer, including the mobo
2. Go to system information
-Start
-Programs
-Accessories
-System Tools
-System Information

This is all easier on my Windows 8

Hope this helps :3

I put some info above. Pls check.

Not too sure. If you could give me the name of the mobo, that would be great. You could always just get it and if your mobo doesn't support it then it will use the max speed it does support. Then you could pull it for future builds
