Current configuration
My laptop is capable of supporting up to 32 GB.
I presently have 4 slots filled with the following memory:
Samsung 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz non-ECC Unbuffered CL11 204-Pin SODIMM 1.35V Low Voltage Single Rank Memory Module Mfr P/N M471B5173BH0-YK0
RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (11-11-11-28) Memory slots Total memory slots 4 Used memory slots 4 Free memory slots 0 Memory Type DDR3 Size 16384 MBytes Channels # Dual DRAM Frequency 799.1 MHz CAS# Latency (CL) 11 clocks RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 11 clocks RAS# Precharge (tRP) 11 clocks Cycle Time (tRAS) 28 clocks Command Rate (CR) 2T Physical Memory Memory Usage 26 % Total Physical 16 GB Available Physical 12 GB Total Virtual 32 GB Available Virtual 27 GB SPD Number Of SPD Modules 4 Slot #1 Slot #2 Slot #3 Slot #4
Question
If I add a single module of 8 GB that is marked "dual rank", will the system work or not? In other words, if I make the configuration:
8 | 4 | 4 | 4
will it affect the functionality of the memory in the other slots?
