I currently own this model with 7th gen i5 and 4GB RAM, 2GB NVIDIA. Can I upgrade the RAM to 8GB or 16GB whichever works well? Can you also recommend where I can buy and specifically what RAM upgrade to buy here in the Philippines. Thank you :)

    Hi! Can you check the current configuration of your ram using aida64?

    Hi,
    You can install CPU-z program, run it and go to SPD tab, find out the memory speed in your laptop and buy a matching module with same specs.

    Assuming that you have the 75MD model, the capacity is 32 gb with 2 slots. Just match the specifications shown on that webpage.
    The video below, for the E15 E5-575G-57D4, shows 2 removable RAM sticks & offers suggestions in regards to brands (click YouTube on bottom right corner to take you to the YouTube website).
    If you wish to upgrade to 32 gb, use identical sticks. If your budget is tight, you can mix & match (putting the larger stick in the first slot), provided that you adhere to the specifications from the link above. Ebay Philippines does not very good deals presently, so decide which RAM sticks you want & do a search for them. The best deals are usually from China with free international shipping.

    Thank you so much! It says I currently have 4GB DDR4-2133 (1066MHz) on slot #3. Does this mean the upgrade I can only get should also be DDR4-2133 and not -2400 nor -2666? The CPU stated is i5-7200U.

    Thank you so much for clearing it up :) I will find products on Lazada since they have sellers from China as well. And yes, I’m planning to get 16GB or 8GB for now so I can upgrade next time to another 16GB/8GB. Thank you! :)

    Thank you so much! It says DDR4-2133 (1066Mhz). My future upgrades should only be DDR42133 as well? My CPU is running i5-7200U.

    And another thing... if I completely replace my stock ram, and use only 1 upgraded ram stick, nothing will happen to the saved files, am I correct? So sorry for my questions! :)
  • @ernestine Is your E5-575G the correct model for your notebook? Well in the main menu you wrote only e575g! The E5-575G model supports up to 32GB ram memory ddr4, 2133mhz!
    Replacing ram memory will not cause you to lose your files! However, on some notebooks it is necessary to update the bios before the motherboard recognizes the new ram!

  • If you are a ram memory of 16gb ram, choose to buy two of 8gb with the same specifications, so that the notebook uses the dual channel!

    Wow, the RAM sticks are really expensive.
    Lazada 8gb, 1 stick only for about US $144.64.
    If you plan to have a total of 32 gb eventually; it would make economic sense to purchase this 16 gb stick, (free international shipping to the Philippines); move your present 8 gb to slot #2 (the slot number is etched into the motherboard) & put the new 16 gb stick into slot #1. You can wait a few years for the prices to come down, then replace the 8 gb stick with another 16 gb stick with the same specifications. If you are happy with the 24 gb combination, then no need to spend more pesos.
    Check with the seller about compatibility before placing the order.  If there is a problem, return will be easier.
    Fortunately the RAM slots are easily accessible.  Some motherboards require multiple disconnections of many components before one can reach the slot under the motherboard.  Nice way to build up your confidence.

    Hi! Just want to update that I have since then upgraded to 8GB of ram and it’s been a huge help especially when I always use Photoshop + Chrome. No more lags! Thanks so much guys! Next upgrade would be 120-240GB of SSD hopefully this year! :)
  • Great my friend!
