Sorry but i am new to this. I would like to upgrade my laptop to 8gb of ram. In the laptop the is a 4GB 1Rx8 PC3L-12800S-11-12-B4    . Bought a 4GB 1Rx8 PC3L-12800S-11-13-F3 But was not compatible. I was wondering why, Can i just buy a 8gb one or do i have to buy in pairs, plus what is the max i can put into this laptop. Ps only has an i3 motherboard.
