    Hello, where can i buy the 8GB ram for the Ideapad 330-14IGM?

    Hi, thanks for the video! My son has one of these since Q4-2018 and I have upgraded from HDD to SSD SATA III 2.5" and RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB. I was wondering if has someone tried 16 GB DDR4 in this device? By specs it is limited to 8 GB but I have experience "overramming" up to 3 times the manufacturer´s maximum.

    Hello. I have bought a new battery for my lenovo idea pad 330. Is there anything in particular I need to do before powering up my laptop after I have installed the new battery?

    • @BrueComputing

      Nope. Probably best to put it on charge, but otherwise not really.

    Why I see so many videos about replacing the HDD for an SSD and not just adding the last one to the free "optical" port/bay that this model has? What's the powerful reason behind not to keep both?

    • @FROILANDRES
      @FROILANDRES 10 місяців тому

      Maybe because it comes without ODD, not sure if a 9.5 mm or 12.5 mm Caddy would fit and work properly...

    Hello James, I have the same laptop model and its tiring me out cause its so slow and always logging. Do you think it's alright if I update the bios? It's in the critical updates in my lenovo vantage. Or do you happen to know other way tyo resolve the issue? Thanks.

      I doubt that would make a significant difference. Does it have a SSD or HDD in the model you have?

    I have a 330-15IKB that has 8GB RAM installed. But its lagging a little since I Run CAD/CAM softwares fairly heavily. Would upgrading the RAM to 16GB, or switching to a SSD be better?

      I would recommend doing 1st the upgrade to SSD Sata III 2,5" and then, if still not goog enoug, try the 16 GB DDR4 RAM upgrade.

      It seems it has the connection for the ODD in the motherboard. What concerns me is wether the space available is enough or not ofr the 9.5 mm Caddy. Worth the try thoug.

    Hello Sir, I'm going to upgrade this laptop model's HDD by an SSD. Considering this laptop has only one memory slot, does it worth to upgrade replacing 4GB by and 8 GB module? I mean will I see a better performance? or just replacing the hard drive should be enough to run Windows 10/11, Chrome and some light apps smoothly? Thanks a lot.

    • @BrueComputing
      @BrueComputing  2 роки тому +2

      Going to an SSD from a mechanical HDD will have a much bigger impact than upgrading the RAM. If you have 8GB (2 x 4GB) then going to 12GB won't make a huge difference in most scenarios.

      In models with an optical drive you can fit a 2.5" SATA caddy in its place to add a second drive.
