Hello,

I have a Pack Bell LJ 65 laptop whose specifications are here: https://www.alatest.fr/avis/ordinateurs-portables/packard-bell-easy-note-lj65/po3-84804207,30/#details

It runs on Windows 7 installed originally, in 64 bits

It originally has 4 GB of RAM.

Can I add more RAM? Up to how much?
(by replacing or adding one or more sticks?)

Thank you for your answers!!! :)

Configuration: Packard Bell Easynote LJ65 laptop
Windows 7

    Hello and thank you Tribun,

    I know it only has 2 slots.

    I was wondering this question since the PC runs on 64 bits, to know if we could put a 4 GB stick in one or both slots?

    In 64 bits, it would be possible to put a maximum of 8 GB of RAM.
    See this under Memory

    Thank youuuuuu so much for this precious document!!!!!

    So apparently I can change 1 or 2 RAM sticks by adding 4GB 1 or 2 times in DDR3.

    Since you seem to know a lot about this, I’ll take the opportunity to ask a second question. This time, about the "graphics card." I’m wondering if it’s a real graphics card or just a simple "graphics chip" that’s in place originally.
    (I think it’s a chip).
    In the document you sent me, they mention it on the same page (chapter 1 page 1)
    On the PC, I have the NVidia label that shows GT340M 1GB
    Yet in the document, they refer to "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570" which is strange??

    So my question is: "chip" or "graphics card"? And is there a way to boost my graphics performance? (by adding memory, changing the card)

    Thanks again in advance for the time you spent responding!

    If I consult the document, you must have a graphics chipset and a dedicated card.

    If I look at the specifications
    You have an ATi Mobility Radeon Tm HD 4570 which is a dedicated card.
    and you must also have an integrated chipset.

    OK, thanks!

    First, I will try to upgrade to 8 GB of RAM

    But apparently it will be so-DIMM DDR3 at 1333 MHz.

    Look at your current sticks and see what the frequency is.
    Normally, it's this: DDR3 memory 800 MHz.
    I don't see anywhere that your motherboard supports 1333 MHz.

    Hello Tribun,

    the analysis from ma-cfonfig.com gives me this:

    4 GB of total DDR3 memory at 399 MHz

    Kingston 2 GB module
    Maximum frequency: 667 MHz
    Bandwidth: PC3-10700

    Kingston 2 GB module
    Maximum frequency: 667 MHz
    Bandwidth: PC3-10700

    And indeed, the document you sent me mentions a maximum of 800 MHz, but it's impossible to find 4 GB modules at a frequency lower than or equal to 800.... :/ What to do ??

    But the frequency is to be multiplied by 2, so 399 or 400 MHz X 2 = 800 MHz
    667 MHz X 2 = 1333 MHz

    In DDR3 800MHz, you only have 2GB sticks.
    There are 4GB DDR2 800MHz sticks, but I'm not sure if the pin count is identical to your slot and they cost excessively.
    Plus, in a laptop, it's almost impossible to change anything.
    Anyway, with your PC's hardware configuration, adding RAM to your 4GB wouldn't do much since the hardware is low-end.

    ah :/

    And what is likely to happen if I put 4GB sticks at 1066?

    The risk is that the PC may not start and the money wasted.
    Since the frequency of the RAM sticks may not be supported by the motherboard.
    See you later

    Hello
    This PC is low-end and a laptop only has 2 memory slots.
    So you are at max and cannot increase the RAM or add modules.
