What is the difference between PC3-10600 and PC3-10600S?

[radibg2]

I can't find any laptop ram other than my laptop(HP Pavilion dv7 3150EQ)'s ram(2x2GB) which is PC3-10600S, will a laptop ram PC3-10600 work without problem in my laptop? There is no tech information about the motherboard - HP 365C, but the CPU supports up to 8GB(i've checked from ubuntu terminal by sudo dmidecode -t memory and it shows max ram 8GB) and up to 1066mhz.

Check your laptops DRAM compatibility list, you aren't providing anything to work with here, you could be talking 10600 desktop DRAM for all we know

I've added some more information. And from where to get this dram compatibility list(if you mean ddr3, ddr2, it supports only ddr3)?

Looks like you may have to e-mail HP they don't show a list that I could find

To answer you actual question correctly. The "S" as in DDR3 10600S for example stands for SO-DIMM which is the size of RAM for Laptops. If you had desktop memory the same RAM would say DDR3 10600. Crucial and other companies have a way of not listing the RAM speed with the "S' because in the title of the RAM you are purchasing it says "SO-DIM' but when you get your RAM it will have the "S" on it if you are buying for a laptop. Maybe it's to confuse you so that you might not realize that you have some RAM laying around that might work.
