As E1-531 supports DDR3 1333mhz 1.5v sodimm is it possible to be upgraded with DD3 1600mhz sticks?

 

I am using 2x2GB DDR3 1333mhz

 

I want to replace 1x2GB DD3 1333mhz with 1x4GB DD3 1600mhz

 

So the final result will be 1x4GB DD3 1600mhz + 1x2GB DD3 1333mhz = 6GB RAM with different kind of sticks.

 

Is it ok, is it compatible and will it works without problems afterwards?

 

Thanks

    Hello,

     

    You can upgrade 2+4Gb without any problems but that depends of the brand and the part number of memory modules. They will work at 1333MHz.

    1. Which are the brands and the part numbers of original memory modules?
    2. Same question about the other part?

    Tnx again Laurent!

     

    I check the Store. They have A-Data sticks with Part number - AD3S1600W4G11 - b

    Is there a difference between AD3S1600W4G11 and AD3S1600W4G11 - b or it is OK?

    Hello,

     

    For this memory module, no differences. It's a packaging code (blister, retail, small box or 2 parts).

    -B, -R, -S or -2 (2x4Gb)

    FIXED THE MEMORY DESCRIPTION
  • Hi,
    The difference between them is the voltage, you have 1.5v memory and Kingston is a low voltage memory(1.3v). It's better to install memory modules with same specs.
    Try to get matching module as exactly as your current module.
