FAQ about Lenovo V570c RAM
How much RAM can I put in my V570c laptop?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max. The system won't recognize anything larger even if you try.
What kind of memory do I need for the V570c?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR2 or DDR4, they're not compatible.
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 save your money and stick with 1333MHz.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 2GB + 4GB if you want 6GB total. Just know that mixing sizes means you won't get dual-channel performance benefits, but it'll work fine.
Do I need to match the existing RAM exactly?
Not really, but try to match the speed (1333MHz). Different brands are usually fine together. If you're adding to existing RAM, matching the timings helps but isn't critical for basic use.
Will faster RAM make my laptop faster?
Since the V570c caps out at 1333MHz, buying faster RAM won't help. The real speed boost comes from having more RAM if you're currently running low - going from 2GB to 8GB makes a huge difference.
