Memory for Lenovo X120e w/ AMD 350

[gregorytimsmith]

Hello,

I am seeing DDR3 SDRAM 1333 being recommended by Lenovo tech support, as well as DDR3 SDRAM 1600 and the 1333 by the various memory websites.

Does it matter for general (non-gaming )use?

No, the speed does not matter for your laptop. You have "AMD Accelerated Processor E-350", it has integrated 1066MHz DDR3 memory controller. So regardless of the speed you install the memory will be downclocked to 1066MHz. But I wouldn't recommend 1600MHz. You can either go with 1066MHz or 1333MHz. IMO, going with 1066MHz is the better option.

Good luck with the upgrade!!
