I was wondering. since i cant get any information off the internet about this model.

I am planning to change the stock rams to either corsair or hyperx rams.

I know that this laptop is so far said to only be able to hold on max 4gigs of ram, which im very dissapointed.

Can anyone suggest, or maybe specifically recomend me the model of ram which i can change to.

BTW, i want ddr3 rams, high performance if available, and of course has to be available in malaysia.

Ive tried certain webs about ram checkin but it seems that this laptop is too new for them.... so no databases

Compaq has bad support on performance ram. Value ram with normal latency is fine though.
So, NO to you for performance ram like HyperX

The system will NOT boot with the performance ram.
This is because Compaq has already fix the normal latency. The notebook will not detect any low latency ram modules.
I have tested before.
Note: When we talk about performance ram, we talk about low latency ram.
