Depends on the RAM frequency and latency. Also, you can't put desktop rams into your laptop's ram slot.

As for the HDD, getting a 1 TB HDD would be much better as you get double the space for just 10-15% price difference.

What models? Ping us the model links. 10% plus minus is ok, that much means something is odd. Check the speeds and type.

Get Corsair instead.. no Corsair fakes so far, well atleast as far as i know

If the old HDD is SATA laptop hdd with proper dimensions, it should be compatible with your laptop. For performance issues, post a screen shot of HD Tune running some random read/write tests and Drive health. Most issues arise due to bad sectors and if the HDD is in warranty, get it replaced.

Transcend RMA is not good. I bought their RAMs once but never again. If someone has a good story to tell then do that here.

Hi [MENTION=320445]obireddy46413[/MENTION],

I agree with SaiyanGoku. The difference between the RAM's could be a specification and Single or Dual Channels. The Channel is helping to increase the performance.

In real world terms you will get a 5-20% performance increase with dual channel when running benchmarks. You probably won't notice it in terms of speed though. So no need to worry to much regarding channels, but its good to have the Dual channel because it can do more and do it faster. The basically dual channel has two roads to move information compared to one road.
