I have a laptop (Model Name: SATELLITE C55DT-A5244), and want to find a 16GB RAM to replace the 4GB RAM in it.
How could I find out from Lubuntu 18.04 the requirements on the specifications of RAMs that can work with the laptop? Does the output of lshw below suffice?
What specifications must a new RAM meet? Capacity, frequency, latency, and more?
Thanks.
$ sudo lshw
