Samsung Notebook 5 NP530E5M RAM Replacement

はじめに

When it comes time to increase your operating speeds, frames per second, or overall performance of your laptop, you can consider replacing your RAM. The Samsung Notebook 5 NP530E5M has a convenient port on the bottom of the case that can be accessed by removing a single 6.5mm screw. Before replacing RAM or upgrading memory, be sure to check if the new memory you intend to install is compatible with your laptop's motherboard.

There is a misconception that when using multiple sticks of RAM, they must match. The rumor is that they must be the same size, or even the same brand. This is not correct, although you do want to make sure your new RAM is compatible with your current computer.
