Question

laptops

There is a Packard Bell EasyNote TS11-HR-524RU laptop with i5 2430M with 4 GB of RAM 1066Mhz installed (2 bars of 2 Gb each). There is a desire to put there two bars of 8 Gb 1333 Mhz.
Is it possible or not?
Sellers in stores say "yes, no problem", on the sites it says everywhere that 8Gb max, on the Intel site it is indicated that the processor supports.

Answer 1

It depends, among other things, on the laptop chipset, whether it supports that much.
There are success stories when the bars worked beyond the maximum, but at lower frequencies.
In general, a lottery, look on the Internet and on Avito, if there are positive examples.
Most importantly, memory slats have such a characteristic as memory ranks, modules for the test must be 1 rank.

Answer 2

With a high probability - to be.
On many similar models based on the Intel HM65 Express chipset, the manufacturer on the website indicated a limit of 8 GB. However, the network has reviews of people who quite successfully exceeded the specified limit.
Example:

I just bought an extra 8GB to pop in my U31SD, for 12GB total. Despite the Asus spec page saying 8GB is the limit, this Works fine. Passed memtest86 and is visible to 64bit Ubuntu.
I have the latest bios update installed, not sure if that makes any difference.
See the thread for a similar problem with a laptop with the same chipset.
Happy shopping :)

Practically I confirm YES it is possible. Practically confirmed.
I installed these SODIMM DDR-3 GeiL 8Gb PC3-10660 1333MHz, CL9-9-9-24, 1.5V for GS38GB1333C9S GL98 PS

, but this is a limitation of this particular Windows, not a laptop.

I confirm for TS11HR - costs 16Gb on Hackintosh.
