| 1242361 | 2011-11-07 22:27:00 | I need some Laptop Memory but I am not quite sure what I need, and searching for it has turned up nothing. I am sure this is due to me not searching for the right thing. I need DDR3 SDRAM 1333 MT/s to fit a SO-DIMM slot for a Sony Vaio laptop Minimum of 2gb module. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? |

| 1242363 | 2011-11-07 22:48:00 | Awesome thanks. Also the laptop has three slots as per this Pre-installed/Max 2 GB (2 GB (On Board)) DDR3 SDRAM*2 (upgradeable up to 6 GB*3) SO-DIMM Slots DDR3 SO-DIMM slots (Unused Memory slot 1) Memory Speed 1333 MT/s Can I put in a 4gb module into the empty 3rd slot? |

| 1242364 | 2011-11-07 22:58:00 | That will depend on the model of the laptop. It should tell you in the manual the maximum total amount of RAM it can take and the biggest RAM module that each slot can take. |

| 1242365 | 2011-11-07 23:02:00 | Specs here Says it can take 6GB so adding a 4GB module will hit that Just dunno if the chips need to match or anything 3x 2GB etc www.sony.co.nz |

| 1242366 | 2011-11-07 23:06:00 | Maximum memory is 6 Gigs. So 3 x 2 Gb is what's needed. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1242367 | 2011-11-07 23:07:00 | Reading that then I would say the total max RAM it can take is 6GB and the biggest RAM module you can install is 2GB. If you try with a 4GB module it either won't boot or will just ignore the 4GB module. |

| 1242368 | 2011-11-07 23:19:00 | Just something to keep in the back of your mind as well.:nerd: "Sometimes" some laps can be real fussy about what memory is installed, they sometimes wont accept it, even if its the right speed etc. Had it happen a few times put the new memory in and its not detected /working, try a different brand and it works fine. Make sure where ever you get it from to ask if they guarantee it will work with your Laptop, and if it doesn't can you send it back and get a refund or exchange. |

| 1242369 | 2011-11-07 23:45:00 | I can't see a 3x 2GB anywhere. Anyone know of this config selling anywhere? Or can I just buy 3 standard 2GB chips? |

Or get Kingston RAM, that allways works if you use their recommended RAM. Sometimes costs a bit more though www.ec.kingston.com |
