Can you add more RAM to a laptop? And if so, what's the best thing with 32 GB RAM?

My laptop now has 8 GB of RAM but that's not enough for Star Citizen. I think the laptop packs 32 GB of RAM. What do you think? Then what would be the best 32 GB of RAM to install? So which memory card?

Sw

I'm pretty sure that you can't exchange anything on the laptop.

What do you actually need 32gb for? 16GB are enough for gaming

Just have a look which bar is currently installed, because you take it with you and then buy a larger one.

Ma

Yes, that's already scarce with Star Citizen. But it's also yours to exchange that I think.

Ma

What is a bar?

Fo

RAM memory or RAM bar

Ma

I don't know what you mean☹️

Not every processor can handle every bolt

Check the processor to see how much RAM it can handle. You can order that much. But always with the addition SO dimming ok?

Fo

There's an 8GB latch installed and you want to install a larger latch (32GB). At least that was your question

Gl

You can change RAM on your laptop.

Ma

It can handle 64 GB and what is an SO dim?

Ma

Yes, I just thought about what the memory is🙈

That depends on the laptop. Depending on the processor and BIOS, different maximum configurations are possible. In some laptops there are 2 slots, others have only one and then there are those that can't be upgraded because the RAM is soldered. In general, however, there are "SO dimms" in laptops. Check the documentation that your computer can take.

Ma

What documentation?

pi

For each laptop, you can download the product specifications and instructions for use from the manufacturer. As soon as you reveal which laptop it is about, readers can immediately give you the details that the RAM needs.

It is the notebook itself that determines the maximum RAM configuration and not the CPU.

So 8 or 16GB could be the limit, even if the CPU itself could handle 64GB.

You can find more detailed information in the technical data for your notebook.

And SO-Dimms is a different (smaller) design of ram modules, which are mainly used in notebooks and similarly compact devices (tablets, NAS, …).

When you open a bar of chocolate, you have so-called break edges.

If you break off such a section over its full width, one speaks of a "bar" of chocolate.

And because of the similar design of a ram module, it is often called a "ram bar".

That only for (probable) derivation.

(How old are you actually?)

ta

Very simple: If the laptop allows this, you can (!) Install more RAM.

You can't get more out of what you call here.

Gl

The little RAM

I'm 13

Then you have a lot to learn, young Padawan…

When I was 13/14 I started with my C64. That was a really great time!

And if you ever get a stupid saying to your questions here, ignore that. If you are serious here, you will actually notice quite quickly.

And consider: "Nobody can come to you as stupid as you need it!":-)

Ma

It can only handle 8 GB😭😖
