FAQ about Lenovo V17 G2 ITL RAM
How much RAM can I actually add to this laptop?
You can add up to 8GB in the single accessible slot. The laptop has 2 slots total but one is soldered/not upgradeable, so you're limited to upgrading just one slot.
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
You need DDR4 SODIMM (the smaller laptop-sized modules, not desktop RAM). Make sure it's 3200MHz speed, also labeled as PC4-25600.
Can I upgrade to 32GB total?
No, the maximum is 16GB total. Even if you wanted to add a 16GB stick, the system won't support more than 16GB combined.
Will slower RAM work like 2666MHz or 2400MHz?
It should work but will run at the slower speed. Better to get 3200MHz since that's what the system is designed for - you'll get full performance.
Is it single channel or dual channel memory?
Since there are 2 slots (even though one isn't accessible), it likely supports dual channel if both slots have RAM. Check what's in the non-upgradeable slot first.
Do I need to match the existing RAM?
Ideally yes - same speed, capacity, and timings work best together. But since you can't access one slot, just get 3200MHz and the system should handle any differences.
