ddr3L is rated at 1.35v

you should not use regular ddr3 (its rated at 1.5v)

 

To check details of your system spec , install Speccy, it will tell you all the details about your laptops ram

PC3-12800 (800mhz) = your ram is rated for 1600mhz

you have two sticks for 4gb for a total of 8gb 

and the voltage in the chart shows it runs at 1.35v meaning its infact DDR3L

 

you can go to Crucial's memory scanner to check if your laptop supports 16gb of ram or not

what model laptop do you have?

yes,  it's support16gb. 

PC3-12800 (800mhz) = your ram is rated for 1600mhz .. How to do the calculation that it is 1600mhz.  

so PC3L with 1600mhz .. I have to go with this info. only for buying the new one right.

sodium = salt

 

SODIMM = its the form factor for laptop ram

 

you need to shop for this:

 

DDR3L 1600 (PC3-12800)

1.35v

CAS Latency 11
