Hi, I’m planning to increase my laptop’s memory from 4 GB to 8 GB on a Toshiba Sattelite L50-B. The device is getting a bit outdated, but with the new SSD and RAM upgrade, it should last about two more years. I’m wondering how to discover the maximum MHz your motherboard can support. I don’t have the exact model, and I’m unsure how to check it. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Remove the previous RAM and install a model with comparable specifications.

Even with faster speeds, the motherboard will stick to 2400MHz if it's DDR4.

I understand this point, though often they are soldered which prevents them from functioning

Check RAM details with CPU-Z before removing it.

I'll verify the installation process once you open it up for the SSD. Right now, I don't have the exact RAM model installed, so I won't be able to confirm compatibility beforehand. You might want to check the packaging or manufacturer's website for details.

These details are outdated, so it’s unclear whether you should purchase two brand-new RAM modules or just one, as suggested by Jurrunio.

DDR3 1600 MHz (two 798.4 MHz chips). Any setup will work. If you have two slots, get a kit—it’s the simplest option.

It might not be possible to solder it in most cases, you probably won’t be able to do it

It turned out it wasn't true. I looked it up on YouTube.
