You actually tried install both at same time already?
Cause 1066mhz DDR3 ram is near extinct already, and laptop back then not necessarily can support 1600mhz ram. This post has been edited by Human10: Apr 14 2014, 10:56 PM |

p/s: Just googled your laptop, the processor seems to be gen1 i-series.
And from here, I think the most your processor can support is just 1066mhz. http://ark.intel.com/products/50178/Intel-...-Cache-2_53-GHz This post has been edited by Human10: Apr 15 2014, 12:27 AM |

QUOTE(mie80 @ Apr 15 2014, 01:23 AM) I believe I'm opening this topic on a wrong section. Anyway thank you so much for your answer.. Have you tried installing the 1600mhz ram? Since the most it can support is 1066mhz, does that mean I can't use the 1600mhz ram? Or I can use it.. but the speed will be reduced to 1066 mhz??  Cause my laptop of similar gen to yours, I can't boot up with 1600mhz RAM. But for 1333mhz ram, it boot up fine and automatically downclock to 1066mhz by itself. |
