You have 3 gigs; a 2 gig and a 1 gig. To get 8 gigs you have to discard the existing modules and install 2 x 4 gig.

one more question 

is this ram compatible with my laptop ?

No that module is one that is specifically known NOT to work even though Kingston specifies it for your model. That is high density (4 black memory blocks on each side) and you need low density (8 black blocks). The laptops with the 1st gen Intel Core processors, like yours, are known to be the most finicky on memory compatibility.

my laptop now has 

2GB  A-DATA 1067MHz

1GB  Samsung 1067MHz

i think both of them has 4 black memory blocks on each side not 8... right ? 


Thanks inadvance

Then give the Kingston a shot. One thing about Kingston is they will stand behind it. If it is not compatible they will gladly refund or replace.
