Friend called and wants to add more RAM to her Sony Vaio VPCJ117FX
She says they recommend 1066 speed and she could only find 1333 locally. Will that work?

Re: Adding RAM
If it's the same type it should work. It will slow down to the speed of the others and what the MB can handle but it would be better to buy what is already in there to have less issues.
Corsair Vengeance 64GB 2x32 6000 DDR5, Asus PRIME B760-PLUS S1700 ATX, Corsair RM1000x 1000 Watt PS 80 Plus Gold,WD Black SN770 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD, WD Blue SN580 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Noctua NH-D15S Universal CPU Cooler, Intel Core i7-14700K 5.6GHz, Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX, Asus GF RTX 4070 Ti Super ProArt OC 16GB Video, WD Black 6TB 7200RPM 256MB 3.5" SATA3, Windows 11

Re: Adding RAM
Another thing you can do on top of that is disable unnecessary Windows services. Only if you know what to disable.

Re: Adding RAM
How hard is Blackviper's website to use for reliably pruning services? Do many of you here do pruning at all to increase performance?Heretic wrote:Gotta love Blackviper

Re: Adding RAM
the blackviper site had a purpose when we had less than 512MB of ram and windows XP was new - even then you at most got back 32MB on average, which was a boon for 128MB, but a drop in the bucket for 2 GB.
Otherwise, its pointless to expend the effort on vista/win7 and the gigs of ram you have. if you are at a point when you need to add ram, then you need to add it - there is simply no substitute for it.

Re: Adding RAM
Not so much in performance. I have Windows Defender, Parental Controls, Home Group Listner and Provider, Program Compatibility Assistant Service, BlueTooth Support Service, and Remote Registry disabled. Simply because I see no use for them.tunnelcat wrote:How hard is Blackviper's website to use for reliably pruning services?
