7470 Ram upgrade
I'm seeking expert advice, on how best to add more ram to my E7470? It has 8GB in bank 1 with bank 2 empty. CPU-Z shows 'DDR4 Single channel 8GB'.
The Crucial ram check, says I need: DDR4-2400 CL=17 NON-ECC SODIMM 260-pin 1.2V 1Rx8 PC4-19200 - but is this correct? What do I need to watch out for?
Many thanks if you can advise.
Kind regards, Niloc1017
Latitude E7470, manf 2017, Intel i5, W10 Pro build 20H2, 256GB SSD M.2 2280, 128GB SD card for portable apps etc, 8 GB ram

DDR4-2400 is cheap today, so I wouldn't buy a second 8 GB RAM.
The new one should also go to the old Module in the timings.
Better exchange the old 8 GB for a new one 16 -GB module.
Crucial have good and cheap modules in the program.
It does not have to be the most expensive, because this latitude cannot follow to fast timings, has to fall back.
