You're very welcome.
You need to purchase a DDR3-1333 MHz 2Rx8 memory chip.
That is one with 8 little black memory chips on each side of the circuit board.
Do not buy DDR3L-1600 memory or it will not work.
This should be a compatible 4 GB memory chip for your notebook:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
Chapter 1 has the list of supported processors and memory upgrade information.
Chapter 3 has the list of parts.
Your notebook has an Intel HM 55 Express Chipset which means you can only install a supported Intel 1st generation core processor.
Looks like the best you can do according to the manual is the Intel Core i5-480M processor.

Thanks, can you tell me where I can to buy te maximum memory that I suppose is onlye one additional 4GB memory module like the one that comes to expand to 8GB with the 2 memory banks?
The pdf only tell 2 customer-accessible/upgradable SODIMM slots:
● DDR3-1333 MHz Dual Channel
● DDR3-1066 MHz Dual Channel Support (DDR3-1333 downgraded to DDR3-1066)
Supports up to 8 GB of system memory in the following configurations
● 6144 MB (4096 MB × 1 +2048×1)
● 4096 MB (4096 MB × 1)
● 4096 MB (2048 MB × 2)
● 3072 MB (1024 MB × 1 + 2048 MB × 1)
● 2048 MB (2048 MB × 1)
● 2048 MB (1024 MB × 2)

Are you sure the max proccesor is only Intel Core i5-480M?
In this page for Intel HM 55 Express Chipset I can see a lot of higher proccessors, as Ii7-640M , i7-840QM, i7-660LM , i7-940XM and others
How can I know wich proccesors are avlid and wich not? In the page say is for intel-hm55-express chipset, does not specify the generation.
Thanks in advance.

I can only go by what the service manual indicates.
Theoretically, the i7-640M should work but I'm skeptical about the other processors you listed being able to work.
The i7-840QM is a 45W processor and the dual cores are 35W processors.
