Help regarding Laptop RAM

[neo74]

Hi,

 

I intend to buy a new memory stick for my old laptop Sony Vaio VPCEA23EN.

It had two DDR3 1066 Mhz PC3 - 8500 SODIMM. Do i need to consider the frequency and voltage of the RAM i am planning to buy as well.

As i am a bit concerned about compatibility. Or is there anything else i should be aware of.

Any help/insight regarding this will be appreciated.

I'm assuming your VAIO has the i3-350M. The 350M only supports 8GB of RAM, in either 800 or 1066MHz speeds. Voltage should be 1.5V, which is the standard for DDR3, whereas 1.35V is DDR3L.

Thanks a lot exercutor5. My Vaio does have an i3 350M and i had not checked for the memory it supports.
