Swaping ram between two compatable Laptops..
Hello,
I have a laptop; Lenovo Ideapad z580, With 6gb's or ram.
and an Toshiba seatlite l675d with 4GB or ram...
Both pc's only have 2 slots for ram And i wanted to make the toshiba slightly faster...
So... I swapped a 2gb with a 4gb to give them both 5GB of ram....
But when i hit the flag key (windows start key) and type SYSTEM on both to bring up the processor ram rating ect.. page..
My lenovo still says it has its full 6gb of ram, and the toshiba still says it has only 4gb or ram... both pc's use ddr3 204 pin so-dim which i looked up before attempting this...
Was this a dumb idea? did i break somthing? can i fix this? or will it not work?
I really dont want to spend 40$ on a simple ram upgrade..
Any help? or am i just stupid?
