I would like to add more RAM to my Best Buy G75. I wanted to add 4 new RAM modules, but have read on the forum that getting at the stock RAM will void the warranty as it is located under the keyboard. If I were to leave the stock RAM alone and add two 8 GB RAM modules with the same specs (1600 DDR3...) would it work? i.e. does it mess things up to have two 4 GB modules under the keyboard and two 8 GB modules in the easy to get to locations?
I have read that the reason 16 GB is the max is due to the version of Windows--that you have to run Windows 7 ultimate for the machine to use more than 16 GB. If that is true what amount of RAM can Windows 7 ultimate utilize? 24GB? 32GB??
If I were to replace the stock RAM and have four 8 GB modules could I successfully use a higher MHz than 1600 (1866)?
Also, if I made a "RAM disc" would the computer be able to access the info significantly faster than it would from a solid state hard drive? I am replacing the primary HD with a 256 GB Samsung 830 regardless of what I do with the RAM. I "fly" quite a bit with Microsoft FSX and X-plane 10. If I loaded the flight sim on the RAM disc along with a lot of the scenery data I use a lot it seems to me that this would be the best way to improve performance (frame rate, etc.) or am I wasting $$ expecting a RAM disc to be much faster than an SSD?
I look forward to your comments.
