    Thats a good start, but what I would really like to know is if it can take advantage of 1600MHz ram as its pretty close in price.

    BTW how did you find the model number on crucial? Was it hidden after choosing Ideapad?

    No, it will only take up to 1333. You could put 1600 in it, but it would downclock to 1333. There'd be no way of forcing it higher.

    It came up for me, probably just needed to refresh the page and try again.
