Hello,

Newbie question, please help - I want to upgrade RAM on my old Lenovo laptop. It currently has 2 slots with 2GB RAM in each. Based on the specs it supports 2 x 4GB (DDR3 1066MHz).
When I opened the laptop back cover it says "1.5V DDR3 STD" on the RAM slot. I found Rasalas 8GB Kit (2 x 4GB) PC3-8500S 1067MHz 1066MHz DDR3 8500 PC3-8500 SODIMM RAM on Amazon that matches the existing RAM.
Is there anything else I need to check before buying. I don't quite know what SODIMM means or how to check the number of pins ?

I have attached the image of current RAM.

Apologies if this is obvious to figure out.
