Hi:

The max memory is 2 x 4 GB.

If you run a 64 bit operating system on your notebook, Windows will see and use most of the 8 GB of memory.

Maybe the guy in the shop was thinking you were going to keep the 32 bit operating system on there?   

In which case, he would be right.

It is very hard to find the right memory for your notebook.

It can't be DDR3-12800, it can't be 1.35V, and it has to have 8 little black memory chips on each side of the circuit board, not 4.

It would need to be DDR3-10600, 1.5V, non-ECC, unbuffered, 8 black chips on each side of the circuit board.
