Hi, the maximum memory of your PC is 8GB meaning that 2 X 4GB RAM can be added to the 2 DIMM in-line memory module which in simple terms, means that you have two slots where the Memory RAM can be placed.
2 DIMM is a dual in-line memory module. A DIMM is a type of computer memory that can store data and hold it for processing by the CPU. A typical 2 DIMM is made up of 4 or 8 bits, but the size may vary depending on the hardware configuration.
The main difference between DDR3 and DDR3L is in the voltage specification. Voltage specification for DDR3 is 1.5V, but the voltage for DDR3L is less, which is 1.35V. The letter L in DDR3L refers to low voltage standard. As DDR3L is a special type of DDR3 all other specifications except the voltage remains the same.
Your PC uses a DDR3 RAM.
You can find out more about your PC specification here.
