Hello,
I am Swapnesh Mishra from India.I had one 4 gb of internal ram from the time of purchase which is running at 800 mhz. Recently i upgraded it by another 4gb of ram but the later one is of 667mhz.So will it cause any trouble to my laptop?

My System:-
Sony Vaio svf15218snw
i5-3337u
gt 740m 64-bit 1gb
8gb of ram(4gb at 800mhz + 4gb at 667mhz)

Please reply.

Thanks in Advance

No, they will both run at 667 MHz, and so you will lose some speed. The benefits outweigh the losses however as 8GB of RAM will improve responsiveness in Windows, especially when you have a bunch of applications open.

the difference of speed if both the rams were 800mhz is marginally faster than the above mentioned or the difference is huge

Marginal speed difference. Definitely keep the 8GB installed in the laptop.

i have talked with the seller and he has told me to provide a 800mhz ram instead....so should i take that or
should keep it?
