Ram stick suggestions?

[SizzleAtari]

I'm thinking about upgrading the ram to 16. Which ones should I buy, and what will the extra Ram do for it? Im still gonna run windows from the external drive I've been using. I'm nervous about taking the VCS apart, but it looks simple enough.

I´ve upgraded my VCS in the past with a pair of Crucial SODIMM´s (see attached pic).

I´ve used two 16GB SODIMM´s for 32GB, but of course you can take two 8GB for 16GB.

 

But finally you can use every manufacturer, that provides the proper specifications: SODIMM, DDR4, LP (Low Power) 1.2v

 

What the extra RAM will do: I think I don´t have to explain that .

But: The AMD Graphics use shared memory, so you get some more free RAM, available for Windows and applications

Make sure you get two sticks.  It comes with 4GB x 2
