DDR3 PC3-10600 • CL=9 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3- this is the info you need to purchase your ram crucial states you can run 8 gig so you must only have 2 ram slots so this would be 2 x4 = 8 you cant run 6 gig never seen 3 gig ram moduels but some folks run 6 gig when they have 4 ram slots open that would be 3x2 = 6 hope this helps ? you cant order from crucial then I take it

Do you know of any good pc shops there that you could go into and give them that info and try to see what they offer?

Thin, you can just buy Kingston RAM from your local vendors, no need to go to any websites.

I am too from India, here we can get Kingston for good budget and with no-issue performance.

Thanks bro, ok I will be going for a kingston , but eventually I still have the question that if I buy 4gbx1 of ram will or won't it be compatible with the previously installed ram of 2gb in the first slot , or what's the phenomenon behind it ? do we need rams from same vendors to make it work ,or what thing?

will 2+4gb new won't work as 6gb? if not why?

thanks for help bro again

Your Laptop is supported upto Maximum of 8GB RAM.

So if you have 2GB already, you can go for another 4GB.

Its not so necessary to have same vendors. But ensure that you get same Mhz amount and same voltage RAM.

Can you tell me the exact model no of your laptop: Check the referral here to find your laptop's model
