Then you should consider replacing your existing HDD with an SSD(solid state drive)
Upgrading the memory in your computer is usually the first step to increasing it's performance. Additional memory allows you to run more applications simultaneously without the computer slowing down. It also allows you to multi-task to a much greater degree as your applications, email, web browsing, etc. all have more RAM to use to run efficiently.
However additional RAM does not solve all the issues of a "slow" computer. If you find that it takes Windows a long time to load or your spreadsheets are taking minutes before they are ready to use, then you should consider swapping out your old spinning HDD for an SSD.
SSDs will run up to 12 times faster then a HDD and will have Windows loading and ready to use within seconds instead of minutes. All complex programs, high res video, complex audio and other large applications will load, ready to use, within seconds instead of taking several minutes before being ready to utilise.
In a working environment, waiting minutes each time a new program loads or for your computer to be ready to use is a time consuming and costly exercise. Added up, wait times increase to hours lost when totaled over the course of just a week.
This would rank as one of our most frequently asked questions.
The short answer is yes, but only if you have a notebook or desktop.
A large majority of notebooks have 2 memory slots which can be upgraded with either one of two modules. Many of these are shipped with 2 low-density modules of matching capacity.
However when upgrading these types of notebooks you do not have to remove both modules and put in a matching pair. It is just as effective to keep 1 of the existing modules and replace the other one with a large capacity module.
Most desktops have a similar set up. They generally have 2 or 4 memory slots that are upgradeable. Many times they are shipped with a matching pair. However when upgrading you need only to add one module at a time regardless whether the device was shipped with 1 module or 2 originally. Your HP desktop will run quite happily with 3 modules assuming it has 4 or more memory slots.
This is by far the most frequently asked question we field on a daily basis.
The answer is always, "what is the exact model of your Lenovo"
Unfortunately there is no other way to determine the answer to that question without knowing the exact details of your computer.
Over ten years ago, 4gb was maximum for most notebooks and desktops. 8 years ago, the max was mostly around 8gb for notebooks and maybe 16gb for desktops. 6 years ago, generally most laptops could take 16gb and many desktops could take 32gb.
Now with DDR4 RAM, many notebooks take 32gb and many desktops take 64gb.
However those are very rough guidelines as you would need to exclude servers, ultrabooks and other devices from these generic guestimations.
So getting back to our original answer, the only way to receive the correct advice is to be sure to have your exact model available.
What I am getting is a bit of conflicting information as to whether it has 1 or 2 upgrade slots. Sometimes when the information isn't consistent, one slot is user friendly and the other is not(under the keyboard or something)
I was thinking of getting Part No: UCA1726 - 550MB/s Read, 500MB/s Write for my Lenovo Thinkpad W530 and wondered whether it was compatible. If so, I will put through the order today.
Kind regards
Colin
Answer: Colin,
Unfortunately it's not compatible. The mSATA refers to mini SATA, your W530 contains a micro SATA connection which is the earlier technology. You can replace your HDD with an SSD though as that's standard 2.5" form with a SATA connector. Here is the link to our SSD upgrade page which contains all the SSDs and accessories compatible to your W530.
Not sure if the email I typed just worked. I have 4GB of RAM and 64 bit o/s but the computer is going slow. Would 8GB make it faster?
Also to upgrade to 8GB do I just need to buy 4GB of RAM - or put another way how do I tell if there are two RAM slots that can work together?
Thanks in advance
Ian Answer: Ian,
The E520 does have (2) memory slots and most likely the existing 4gb is a single model located in one slot, leaving one slot free. Here is the link to our E520 page. The E520 can actually take (2) 8gb modules for a total of up to 16gb if you are that keen. You can also mix and match your existing 4gb with an 8gb module to get 12gb. Both items are currently in stock.
Hi, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z560 with a 4GB single RAM stick, and would like to upgrade it to 8GB.
1. Can I add another 4MB stick in the 2nd slot and if so what would you recommend? The one that's already in it is a 4GB 2Rx8 PC3-8500S-07-10-F2.
2. Currently, I have Windows 7 but intend to upgrade to Windows 10.
Joe Cutajar Answer: Joe,
Here is a link to your upgrade. Yes, you can add an additional 4gb into the second slot no worries. Windows 10 will be much happier with the additional RAM.
I have a Lenovo H30-00 Machine type : 90C2 desktop PC
I would like to up the Ram to 8G as it has only 4g
Can you please give me a price for this please
I am installing myself
Cheers
Maggie
Answer: Maggie,
You need to remove the 4gb and put in an 8gb module as it only has 1 memory slot. Here is a link for the correct item.

Hi
I have a Lenovo R61i Type:8932-CTO Serial Nbr:L3-L8821 08/04 with 2GB of RAM and would like to upgrade my memory.
I notice the price for 1GB is A$48 and 2GB is $59. I read that the system will only recognize 3GB in total.
Should I only get the 1GB module? Is this user installable? Do you know of a PC guy who can instal this for me?
Please advise me. Thanks.
Lloyd
Answer: Lloyd,
If you are running a 32bit operating system it will only recognise 3gb. You need to be running a 64bit version of Windows to have it recognise the full 4gb.
I have both modules in stock, here is a link to your model page that includes both upgrades.
