Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.

The memory upgrade info can be found in chapter 1, on page 4.

2 x 4 GB of DDR3 memory is supported.

Thank you Paul.

Operating system : Windows 7

System type : 32 bit

Scenario for me looks something weird,Got confused which configuration suits me.

Kindly suggest me the good configuration, that suits me.

Thank you in advance.

You're very welcome.

If you are running a 32 bit operating system, then the maximum amount of memory that Windows can 'see and use,' is 4 GB.

If you don't plan on converting to a 64 bit operating system, if your notebook has 1 x 2 GB of memory and the other slot is empty, just buy another DDR3-1333 2 GB memory module.

Thank you for your quick and detailed response.

If i change my operating system to 64 bit, then i can use this  configuration (8192-MB total system memory (4096×2) right?

You're very welcome.

That is correct.

With a 64 bit operating system the 8 GB of memory will be 'seen and used' by Windows.
