ram upgrade sony vaio s series (sa 13.3")

[maccamuz]

Hi guys, im a newbie to sony vaio.

Recently ordered myself a brand new customizeable sony vaio s series (SA model)

I chose the 4gb ram option hoping to save a few pounds upgrading myself.

Im looking to add another 4gb ram module to make 8gb in total running under a second gen i7 processor. should be a speedy little number!

I dont have the laptop yet as its still being built, but would love to buy this moudle now before it arrives. Can anyone please reccomend the exact ram chip i need to buy and where?

thankyou very much

Hi maccamuz and welcome.

Most of us here use Crucial because of their no-quibble compatibility guarantee.

Have a look here: -

Hi , thanks for the quick and useful reply.

Just one more question though- deos my laptop need identical ram chips for it to work properly?

i.e do i have to buy a pair of identical ram chips from crucial or can i mix the defualt factory chip and the one from crucial?

thanks

I believe on your model there is only one accessible memory slot - so you can only add one memory stick.

The minimum memory is 4MB but you cannot get at this to change it - it is a fixed amount inside the Vaio.
