Hi:

 

No, it will not support DDR4 memory.

 

DDR4 memory runs at a different voltage than DDR3 memory, and the slots on the memory board are cut in different places to prevent the wrong kind of memory from being installed.

 

DDR memory can only run on DDR machines

DDR2 memory can only run on DDR2 machines

DDR3 memory can only run on DDR3 machines

DDR4 memory can only run on DDR4 machines.

 

Each type of memory runs on a different voltage than the other, has a different amount of contact pins than the other, and the slots are all cut in different places on the circuit board to prevent the wrong type memory from being installed.

You're very welcome.

 

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to help you with selecting memory for your notebook.

 

Check the service manual for the specs of the memory you need, or you can run the free Crucial Memory Scan Tool, and it will check your PC and suggest compatible Crucial brand memory for your notebook.
