I've got a Lenovo Y530 with two Samsung modules in place for a total of 3 GB. Will replacing the 1 GB module with this 2 GB module make much diff?

Adding memory will reduce the number of memory faults (a fault occurs when the contents of RAM must be swapped out to disk due to insufficient available memory) which translates into better performance. But whether you will notice the difference depends to some extent on how you use the computer. For lightweight applications, email, etc, you might not notice much of a difference. But for memory-intensive apps like Photoshop with multiple high-res images loaded simultaneously, you will almost certainly see a big improvement.

Memory is heavily used for an assortment of things. Adding more will always help. If the other 2G module is the same spec as this one, they could run in dual-channel mode, which should also help to improve performance.

Probably. If it fits in and locks down properly it won't hurt anything. The only question is will your chip set recognize it. My T60 will quite happily accept 2 2-GB but will only recognize 3 GB total.

Ashutosh, yes, it is important to get the same type of memory, especially when using more than one SIMM. The memory in your laptop appears to be DDR3 running at 1,066 MHz (this based on an Internet search for your laptop model). The manual located here: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/75y4302_05.pdf can help you with installation (see p. 61). I wasn't able to locate information regarding the memory size limits that your particular laptop can use, however I'm fairly confident that you can use the memory modules located here: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-DDR3L-1066-PC3-8500-CT2K4G3S1067M-CT2C4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=pd_sim_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RRYF522B0HFD6PQR22J. It's slightly more expensive to buy the two modules, but I know for certain that your computer currently uses 1 - 4 GB module right now, so 4GB modules should work. I would replace both rather than just buying one and using it with your current memory module. Hope this helps.

I would say no, because if you look at the pictures of the two cards really closely, the distance between the two ports on the old card is greater than the distance between the two ports on the newer card.

I replaced mine but you do need to see if your system can take 1GB. I actually put 2 GB in mine. But that is the max for my old system.

I need memory module 8GBX1 4GBX2 for Lenovo ThinkCentre M73 10B60008US Desktop Computer and onather PC. It doesn't work on my computer and the HP 4GB SDRAM memory module. Can operate from my computer when I insert your memory module 8GB or 4GB let me know.

Generally the answer is 'NO". Can laptop memory be used in desktop and the other way around? That is a common question. The answer is no, for the most part. The first difference between the two is the size of the memory modules. Most desktop memory modules measure between 4.5 and 5.0 inches. The laptop modules are usually 2.5 inches. But, that is the most obvious visual clue of the differences. Other differences in the memory architecture make them incompatible for swapping.

I would suggest going to crucial.com and let them do a memory configuration with the computer that you are hoping to install the memory modules. The configurator will tell you what modules are accepted for your computer without agreeing to buy from them. If the memory modules are not acceptable for your computer, you can always buy what they might have to offer.

Yes. These use the notebook style SO-DIMM modules and only one slot is occupied making it quite easy to add another 4gb module to yield a total of 8gb.

It's a single 2GB module. I only had one spare slot, outside what my computer came with, and that's where I added it.

I would assume that it is, I installed this memory into my Lenovo T series Laptop and it worked. If you want to double check you should look at your owners manual/maintenance manual regarding memory upgrade or you can also look at the actual memory you have installed in the laptop and just make sure it's DDR3 / PC3 ram since you are looking to add/upgrade ram anyway. Lastly you can always call Lenovo tech support and confirm with them as well, best of luck.

No. I had a pair of 1GB's and replaced one with this purchase and it gave me a total of 3GB's, so it should work for you too, as long as this is the correct spec for your particular computer (Your computer tech rep can tell you that).

Could you provide the full model information, its usually located underneath the laptop . I saw the specs for the Lenovo S10-2 10.1-Inch Black Netbook if thats your S10 this chip should work but it will not max out at 2GB the system will only read 1.5GB.

You always have to install RAM in pairs, which is why they sell them in two packs. So there are 2 2-packs of 4 GB modules for 16 GB total

Worked fine in my Lenovo t530 laptop. But you can check crucial.com for compatibility.

No. If you install this RAM with out replacing your 4 GB, it will bottleneck.

Jordan, depending on what your computer will handle (max gigs of ram) you will need to use compatible memory. For instance, if you have the 512K in there now, you will remove them and put the 2 sticks of 1GB ram in its place. If you system will handle 4GB of total ram then you would buy 4 of them and use each slot. They will not work together as its either one or the other meaning you cannot use the 512 with the 1GB. Hopefully that answers your question. I had the same RAM in my machine and by replacing just the 2 as my old system would only capacitate 2GB it became much faster! Sincerely, Greg
