    Hi,

    I'm thinking of upgrading my Asus G73SW's RAM-memory a bit. So what I'm asking is that what kind of memory it has to be? I know it's DDR3, 204-pins and Max 1600MHz, but the one thing I'm not sure about is, that does it have to be PC3-10600?

    Thank you in advance

    No, it doesn't have to be specifically PC3-10600.

    You should be able to put in any DDR3 204 pin RAM modules you can find at the cheapest cost (but still with lifetime warranty) and it will work.

    Good luck.

    Thank you for your answer! I'm kinda new to this kind of stuff (upgrading Laptops) so could somebody then tell me what are those PC3 values?

    Yet again thank you in advance.
