I have a question regarding ram slots. If my memory serves me correctly, when checking cpu-z on the memory tab - when it states "Channel # = single" it mean the laptop has only 1 slot for ram sticks, right? or does it only tell me it is using one at the moment?

On the laptop's spec sheet it said this.
DDR3L 1600 MHz SDRAM, 1 x 2 x DIMM Dual Channel DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz.
Support MAX 8GB. socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM

Thanks!
 
Solution
Open CPU-z and in the SPD tab it should list all the available slots on the motherboard in a drop down menu.

I'll take a guess and say the laptop has 2 slots and it's currently only got ram installed in 1 slot.
