I have a Lenovo P15 Gen1 laptop with easily accessible ram slots. I have never purchased parts for a PC or done any upgrades myself. I think I understand the process well enough, but I'm lost in all the RAM types and model numbers. How can I tell which sticks will fit and work with the P15, and where's the best spot to order them in the US? Thanks for any help with such a basic question.

Yeah it seems the preinstalled RAM is 2933 MHz, so I imagine that's where my BIOS is capped and I probably won't try to change anything. Just great to hear that a 3200 MHz stick will work with the 2933 in there now.
