Opt for SODIMM RAM for reliable performance and compatibility.
Opt for SODIMM RAM for reliable performance and compatibility.
Hi there, I’m facing a choice between two RAM options for my laptop upgrade. I have an Asus ROG G531GD with an i5-9300h, GTX 1050, and 4GB DDR4 2666MHz CL19. I’ve found an 8GB CL15 and a 4GB CL19 stick for around $20 and $13 respectively. Since hardware prices are high in my area, I need to decide wisely.
As a casual user who mainly uses my laptop for browsing and light content, I don’t need a lot of memory. The 4GB CL19 should work fine for basic tasks, while the 8GB CL15 offers more headroom if I ever expand later.
For compatibility, both options fit your current specs, but the 4GB CL19 is more budget-friendly and still compatible. If you value future-proofing a bit, the 8GB CL15 might be better, but for now, the 4GB should suffice and save some money. Let me know if you want more details!
The 8G stick looks solid, and adding more RAM won’t cause any issues.
The 8 GB and 4 GB SODIMM RAM have different frequencies depending on the specific model and manufacturer. Always check the datasheet for exact specifications.
According to the ASUS website, the device appears to have an 8GB storage capacity.
