FAQ about Lenovo V330 RAM
How much RAM can I add to a V330?
You can add up to 16GB in the single upgradeable slot. The laptop has 4GB soldered that can't be changed, so maximum total is 20GB.
What type of RAM does the V330 use?
DDR4 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop memory sticks, not desktop RAM.
Can I upgrade both RAM slots?
No, only one slot is accessible. The other has 4GB permanently soldered to the motherboard.
What speed RAM should I get?
2400MHz DDR4 is recommended. Also listed as PC4-19200 if you see that specification.
Is 20GB a weird amount of RAM?
It's because you get 4GB built-in plus up to 16GB you can add yourself. Not the usual 8, 16, or 32GB configs but it works fine.
Will faster RAM like 2666MHz or 3200MHz work?
Yes, but it'll run at 2400MHz anyway. Save money and just get 2400MHz.
