FAQ about Lenovo Thinkpad E575 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my E575?
You can install up to 32GB total - that's 16GB per slot since you've got 2 slots to work with.
What type of RAM do I need for the E575?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop RAM, which won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz (also labeled as PC4-19200) is the recommended speed. You could use slower RAM but why bottleneck your system? Faster RAM will just run at 2400MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 8GB + 16GB if you want. But matching sizes (like 16GB + 16GB) gives you dual-channel performance which is noticeably faster.
Do I need to remove the old RAM first?
Depends what's already in there. If both slots are full, you'll need to remove at least one stick. If you've got one empty slot, just add the new stick.
Is upgrading the RAM difficult?
Not really - usually just remove the bottom panel, pop out the old RAM (if needed), and click the new ones in at an angle. Takes maybe 10 minutes if you're going slow.
