hi im upgrading ram my current situation is
sudo lshw -short -C memory
H/W path Device Class Description
==========================================================
/0/3 memory 8GiB System Memory
/0/3/0 memory 4GiB SODIMM DDR4 Synchronous Unbuffered (Unregistered) 2133 MHz (0.5 ns)
/0/3/1 memory 4GiB SODIMM DDR4 Synchronous Unbuffered (Unregistered) 2133 MHz (0.5 ns)
/0/7 memory 128KiB L1 cache
/0/8 memory 512KiB L2 cache
/0/9 memory 3MiB L3 cache
/0/b memory 128KiB BIOS
/0/100/1f.2 memory Memory controller
curious about the ^ one that says 8G system memory .. on the lenovo site it states it has two slots although the above output shows a different story ?
ive just ordered a Crucial 16GB DDR4 2400 SODIMM 1.2V (1x16GB) , so im wondering how i should configure it with the above options ? is it normal for it to say 8g system memory ? doesnt look right .
