I'm thinking about upgrading my notebook's RAM ..
currently it have a DDR3L kingston 4gb ram having 2 RAM slots
Is it good to upgrade it to 12gb.... I mean will there be significant performance increase...
will opening my laptops backside void my warranty?
 
Solution
If you are using 64-bit OS then only you can increase the RAM, otherwise even you increase any much of RAM, usable RAM is only 4GB- minus (display Memory in GB).

Up to 64-bit windows 7, 8GB of RAM will be suffice in most cases, but you can get 10 or 12 as per your wish. If you have more RAM, you can run more tasks in parallel, you will not get any performance gain, but you can get consistent performance upon opening more applications with more RAM
