The only thing you really need to be looking for is make sure that the RAM is specced at DDR3 1600.

That link up there is a customized search on Newegg that gives you all of their options for a single 2 GB stick of RAM that will work with yours. Also, make sure that your version of Windows is actually 64-bit Windows cause if you get more than 4 gigs of RAM, anything above that on 32-bit Windows is actually useless. Unfortunately this requires formatting your computer if you don't already have it because I don't think you can do upgrades from 32-bit to 64-bit, but I've been wrong before. |
Awesome, thanks a lot! And yes, I am positive I have the 64 bit version of Windows 7, so I assume it will be worth it to make the jump to 6 gigs. I know I wont see any huge major improvements, but I figure when you can guy a stick of RAM for 15 dollars, why not?
