Ram upgrade on my new laptop

deacon is absolutely right. My Daughter's laptop had 2GB of very slow ram. I upgraded it with a matched set of 4GB of faster ram. The winsat score is lower now than it was before. And the ram is within the motherboard specs.

Thanks Steve, I can live with a lower score as long as the performance increases.
I guess I'll find out, I just ordered these,
8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 upgrades for HP - Compaq Pavilion g7 (AMD DDR3) Laptop/Notebook, CT2388539 from Crucial.com

I think you will be happy with that ram. I've always thought that more ram is better than faster ram (unless you can have both
) I know that my Daughter's laptop, even though it gets lower winsat scores, sure operates much better.

That's all I want.
I'll post back with the final results.

If I bought factory ram from dell it would have been an ok safe bet but more expensive and slightly slower.
People have laptops with isolated incompatabilities sure, but the g-skill I got from newegg rocks and passed the diagnostic memtest 100%. What a difference it made. And that's with ddr2, seems I bought it just in time price went back up a week later.

Even if the memory was a little slower, you'd hardly notice. The gains for having an extra 4 GB of memory, especially if you doing something that will need that much, will far outweight any minor "speed" decrease.

Everything went smoothly, Thanks for the help. Solved. :)
Before and after WEI's, bumped my RAM score up pretty good.
