Want to upgrade RAM frpom 4 to 8GB Pav dvd6 3030tx

[Starlite]

Hi,  I wish to upgrade my RAM from 4 to 8 which I am told is the max I can have in this trusty old dv6 3030tx laptop.

I see in old posts that there has to be a specific model for it due to the mobo. 

DDR3-1066 4G/256x8

I am a bit confused here and as they are rare and old, don't want to get the wrong one.

A link to Amazon or ? would be great thanks.

Help please?

Hi:

I take it that your notebook has a 4 GB DDR3-1066 MHz memory chip currently installed?

If so, you need one that is no faster than DDR3-1333, Dual Rank (2Rx8), 1.5V with 8 little black memory chips on each side of the circuit board, not 4.

Everything I see is so expensive.

I can only find where you can buy two DDR3-1066 MHz chips

You can buy one DDR3-1333 MHz chip, but it is still expensive.

You might be better off getting the 2 x 4 GB PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) chips.
