I wonder where I would get info on what the optimal RAM a Samsung series 3 laptop can perform on. I have the NP300V5A which maxes out at 8GB, though it came with 4GB on board and is a core i3, 2.3 running Windows 8 pro. Someone told me that there is optimal RAM and beyond that a machine will be virtually wasting the rest of the capacity and might not utilise it. Anyone know details on this?
