Memory Mismatch
by BobNutfield from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51AWG)
Hello Everyone
I have a four year old laptop and I added 8GB memory to give me a total of 16GB hoping to be able to use DaVinci Resolve. My laptop uses DDR4 PC-17000 2400. I ordered it by those specs and installed it. The laptop performance was improved, but I started getting very slow startups and one instance when it would not awake from sleep (which never happened before.) Other than that, everything is OK and speed is greatly improved.
However, I got to checking and discovered that what I was sent and installed was DDR4 PC-17000 2133. I'm assuming that the only downside is that the original bank will be underclocked to the lower speed. Is that correct or am I likely to experience other issues?
Many thanks for any help. By the way, even after upgrading to double the RAM, Resolve still will not run because this laptop uses shared memory for graphics. Oh well....
