I'm going to upgrade my laptop memory by adding a 8GB memory.
I'm not sure if this a good deal.

Brand : Crucial (official store)
DDR : DDR4
Capacity : 8GB
mhz : 3200mhz
Price : net RM86+/- (deduct voucher, cashback, bla bla)

PS: while Corsair cost net RM102+/- at same spec

TQ

Don't buy 8GB. We are at the point where 16GB becomes minimum. Go for 16GB X2. Unless your laptop got soldered RAM.

Looks like you dont have a choice. Double check the spec before buying so that you can enable dual channel mode.

Exactly same as your screenshot. 2666mhz, 19-19-19-43

Klevv is SK Hynix inhouse brand for consumer sales of their stuff. Its your best bet to get matched RAM to your soldered unit as you need it for best compatibility for dual channel & XMP at 3200MHZ
