MSI Prestige PS42 8RB-058IT RAM upgrade specifications

The MSI Prestige PS series model PS42 8RB-058IT supports DDR4-SDRAM memory upgrades. The laptop contains 1x SO-DIMM slot for memory expansion. Maximum RAM capacity is 16 GB. Compatible memory modules operate at 2400 MHz frequency and utilize SO-DIMM form factor. Specifications indicate the available slot supports single memory module installation up to the maximum capacity threshold. Current memory upgrade options are compatible with the PS42 8RB-058IT specifications and configuration requirements.

Additional Notes

• The presence of a single SO DIMM slot dictates that memory expansion requires the total replacement of the existing module rather than adding a second stick.
• The lack of dual channel memory support results in a significant reduction in theoretical peak bandwidth for memory intensive workloads compared to multi slot configurations.
• Hardware limitations within the MSI Prestige PS42 8RB-058IT motherboard architecture prevent the system from recognizing or utilizing capacities beyond 16 GB regardless of the physical module size installed.
• Installing high frequency memory modules will result in an automatic downclocking to the 2400 MHz bus limit dictated by the chipset specifications.
• Accessing the memory slot involves internal chassis entry which may require breaking factory seals or specialized tools to navigate the compact thin and light internal layout.
• System stability and latency performance rely exclusively on the timing profile of the lone module because the single channel architecture provides no redundancy for data transfer.
