Thank you, I am sorry for the confusion I was running very little sleep. So I believe the best option to get the best performance would be to buy two 4 gb PC3L-12800 (DDR3L-1600) ram memory. Instead of just one 8 GB.

No, you don't have to apologize!
It is up to us to explain to you as clearly as possible the options, what you can or cannot do.
But if you already have 4gb module, in order to upgrade to 8gb
tried, to buy only one, as identical as possible
It could work
try the site

Welcome to Crucial USA

see also the specifications of your module ..

CPU-Z | Softwares | CPUID
If they don't work together, but the new one works alone, then buy the same one afterwards, you'll save a little money.

Yes, that's right, you can also get the memory ram in MrMemory, Amazon, Ebay, Mercado libre, Aliexpress or any other online store, but they must be of the specifications previously described in my message.

Yes, indeed @GOLD_MASTER   I recommend the crucial site, because they have an automatic scanning system, and search by models
It works quite well in general
but the user is free to buy other modules from more or less serious sites, avoid memories of little known brands, and a good thing most often

Obviously this is a recommendation, not an obligation. @Arkham666

I greatly appricate ya'll. I would just like to put out there it is best not to buy any kind of computer hardware from aliexpress I have made this mistake as well as some of my friends. The problem is the specs of what you by will not actually be the specs of what you receive. My friend ordered a graphics card from them and when he installed it on his computer it was worse than the one he was replacing.

Good warning, @Arkham666   I had a doubt for the latter indeed

of what is quoted Amazon, without advertising, seems to me the best

@Arkham666 .

Yes, you should verify that the seller and brands are reliable.

So I used the scanning tool on crucial.com and got the part number of the ram that is installed and i also confirmed this using CPU-Z and then I googled it and all the images on the websites where I can buy it show 1RX8. What does this mean?https://memory.net/product/hmt451s6bfr8a-pb-sk-hynix-1x-4gb-ddr3-1600-sodimm-pc3l-12800s-single-rank...

@Arkham666 .

Have you already verified that you have installed an 8 gb ram?
