Which set of ram to use for NP8268-S/ P150SM-A???

[lrbodnar 11]

Still patiently wait for my NP8268-S to come in the mail, should only be a couple days away now. As ive been waiting, ive been thinking about all the mods im going to be completing on it. Then I had noticed I have alot of laptop RAM laying around the house, and just wanted to get a idea from everyone on the boards here, on which way I should go.

1- Stick with the stock ram thats coming with it, (2x4) 8gb ddr3 1333, Dont know what manufacture.

2- Swap in (2x8) 16gb ddr3 1333 Crucial ram?

3- Swap in (2x4) 8gb ddr3 1600 Ramaxel ram?

Im tempted to swap in the faster Ramaxel ram.... but then again dont know if thats going to be of any benefit to going with slightly slower, double the ram 16gb? Also Ive never even heard of Ramaxel, I dont know if there a good manufacture, or "re branding" of ram units.

Please bare with me in this probably simple question. Ive built many desktops, laptops, for myself / friends / work, but stopped about 8 years ago. So in that 8 years some things have changed, and are new to me, and im still trying to get a handle on whats in the market today. Primarily the naming nightmare, lol i7 this, i3 that, gtx 780m is a re branded what?.... lol so on, and so on.

Thank you for any help of insight.

16gb ddr3 1333 Crucial ram, would be my pick.

Hey, where did you order the laptop from? Which ram did it come with? I got Clevo 370SS from exotic and it came if Wintec Ram, which i can't find where to buy..

I would choose 8gb @ 1600MHz. It seems that for gaming 8GB is sufficient and some game titles show that there is a performance gain comparing 1300mhz and 1600 mhz,
