8GB Kit (4GBx2) vs. 8GB =4GBx2 Non Kit

[Blitz Blitz]

Hi, sorry for dumb question, but there is any big difference if I buy 2x http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/bls4g3n18aes4ceu, because I can't find this one http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/vostro-3750/CT4319536 Or maybe I can take 2x8GB, but I don't know does my laptop support it, because in official site write, laptop maximum support 8 gb, but in other forum write 16 gb works fine. So what do next? Vostro 3750.

As a general rule of thumb, I purchase a 4GB X 2 retail kit if possible, and if I can't get that, I purchase the exact model X 2 like you are mentioning. The kits are always "matched", so you know they work 99.99% of the time. Buying the same make/model RAM should work 99% of the time (only a slight possible issue - usually dealing with RAM that are done from different runs). Mixing model numbers works sometimes, but you take your chances....maybe a 50/50 deal.

According to the manual for your laptop, 2 X 4GB are the max it will take (see page 137): http://downloads.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_vostro_notebook/vostro-3750_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf
