i have a new-to-me Dell E6420 which is running Win7x64Pro and came with a single 4G stick (has 2 slots). it's a 1333/9/1.5 stick of Kingston. i'm looking at my options for moar-rammage!
option 1 - add 4G of same spec 1333/9/1.5
option 2 - add 8G of same spec 1333/9/1.5
option 3 - swap for 2x4G of 1600/9/1.35
option 4 through option 735 - every other combination of 4G and 8G sticks, all freq, all latency, either voltage
this laptop is MAINLY used for work / office apps and a java-based trading platform. eventually i'll swap over the WD Black that's in there for an SSD. but for now i'm thinking about the ram options.
what's your thoughts? should i just throw in whatever 8G is cheapest even if the specs are different and let the system auto-set the most appropriate figures?
