FAQ about Lenovo V370 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my V370?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max. The system won't recognize anything larger than 8GB combined.
What type of memory do I need for the V370?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop DIMM. DDR4 won't work - has to be DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get?
1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600) is what's recommended. You can technically use 1600MHz modules but they'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so might as well save money and get 1333MHz.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can mix like 2GB + 4GB if you want. Just know that dual channel performance works best with matched pairs (like 4GB + 4GB). System will still work with mismatched sizes though.
Do I need to remove the old RAM?
Depends what's already in there. If you've got 2x2GB and want 8GB total, then yes, take both out and put in 2x4GB. If there's only one stick installed, you might just add another to the empty slot.
Will faster RAM make my laptop faster?
Not really in this case. The V370 is limited to 1333MHz speed, so buying faster RAM won't help. Better to max out the capacity at 8GB than worry about speed.
