Looking it up, it mentions that non-Xeon models run DDR4 3200, but possibly limited to 2933 speeds due to CPU limitations.
Thank you greatly for the help and details! Quick question, what would happen if I use 3200MHz RAM?
You would need to manually set your RAM to run at 3200 MHz in your BIOS, so I expect that it'll just run at 2933 MHz instead if you don't touch the BIOS. Normally the limit is set to 2133 MHz, but I guess your laptop BIOS caps out at 2933?
In any case, a 3200 MHz RAM just means that it can run at any speed at or below 3200 MHz
Yeah it seems the preinstalled RAM is 2933 MHz, so I imagine that's where my BIOS is capped and I probably won't try to change anything. Just great to hear that a 3200 MHz stick will work with the 2933 in there now.
