All four sticks are Samsung, PC3-12800S, CL 11, 1.35v, the only difference is there is a matched pair of 8GB sticks installed now and a matched pair of 4GB sticks on the way. Does it make a difference how they are installed in the four slots? For now, the two 8's are opposite each other and are the ones a person sees when removing the cover, with two empty slots underneath them. According to Speccy they are in slots #1 and #2, but according to CPU-Z they are in slots #2 and #3. Does it really make a difference? TIA

- I have a question: can I upgrade the i5 to an i7 quad core processor so I can replace the dummy RAM and upgrade to 32GB and/or use the 4 slots? What I have read I think I can, but I would like to be sure. I will try to give as much specs as possible: - Thinkpad W530 - i5-3320M - 16GB RAM (2x8GB under keyboard, other 2 slots dummy RAM).
