Question

Request for help and suggestions in updating Lenovo Laptop.

by Mar 29, 2015 5:19PM PDT

Hello Everyone,

Greeting!!!

I have a Lenovo G570 laptop with I5 Processor and 8 GB ram with 15''inc screen. I use Windows 7 as my operating system.

I work and most of the time practice using exchange and lync servers for my personal lab environment and hence the requirement of RAM is pretty high.

While running simultaneous virtual machines I could see that the RAM utilization is max and hence want to upgrade my RAM to at least 16 GB.

But it seems that the ram could not be upgraded more than 8 GB due to the laptops limitations supporting 8 GB at the max which could be installed. Could you please suggest me a solution for this.

Waiting for your kind reply.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Regards,
Amit Khamkar.

Alas, the memory advisor at crucial.com doesn't know the G570. But for the G560 it says 8 GB indeed,.Nothing that you can do about it, except buying another laptop.
