FAQ about Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E335 RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo Edge E335?

The E335 maxes out at 8GB total. Since it has 2 memory slots, you can either do 4GB + 4GB or put a single 8GB stick in one slot and leave the other empty. Most people go with the dual-stick setup for better performance.

What type of RAM does the E335 use?

It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-style memory sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM and not the full-size desktop DIMM modules, they won't fit.

What speed RAM should I buy for my E335?

The recommended speed is 1600MHz, also labeled as PC3-12800. You can use slower speeds like 1333MHz and they'll work fine, but faster speeds will just get clocked down to 1600MHz anyway.

Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?

Yeah, you can mix sizes like 2GB + 4GB, but you'll get better performance if you use matching sticks. The memory controller works more efficiently when both slots have identical modules.

Do I need to replace both RAM sticks or can I just add one?

You can do either. If there's an empty slot, just pop in another stick. If both slots are full, you'll need to replace at least one of the existing sticks to upgrade. Check what's already installed first.

Will any DDR3 SODIMM work in the E335?

Pretty much any standard DDR3 SODIMM should work, but stick to reputable brands and make sure it's 1.5V (standard voltage). Low-voltage DDR3L will usually work too, but regular DDR3 is the safe bet.
