I have Sony Vaio laptop (Model : VPCSB18GA). It has 4GB RAM. I want to upgrade it to 8GB. Can I use this RAM to upgrade my Sony Vaio laptop.

Here's my advice. Go to crucial.com and download the memory upgrade adviser. It will tell you exactly what kind of memory you currently have and what configurations and types of memory are compatible with your laptop. You don't have to upgrade with Crucial memory. Just about any manufactured memory will serve as long as it is of the same type.

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

Nope. The Sony Vaio Tap 20 uses DDR3L RAM. The "L" is for Low Voltage: 1.35 Volts. Regular DDR3 RAM uses 1.5 Volts.You Can get the DDR3L Version of the Corsair Vengeance here: Corsair Vengeance Performance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3L 1600MHz PC3 12800 Laptop Memory Kit (CMSX8GX3M2B1600C9)Good Luck!

Try this. I opened my laptop and took the number off of the memory chip then looked it up on Amazon.The laptop had two memory slots, the one in the laptop was a 4gb, the max was 8gb so I just needed to get the other 4gb. See the specs on yours to see if you can do this.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

It comes with 8 GB of RAM. Not sure if you can upgrade it but for me 8 was enough. I hope that helps.

you have to be a bit more specific. are you asking the question so that you can find out what type of RAM to get for this laptop? if yes then this type of ram will work in this laptop Kingston ValueRAM 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM SR x8 Notebook Memory (KVR16S11S8/4) also any ram thats ddr3 and 1600 mhz will work. you don't have to buy that specific one i just pasting it to give you and idea of what will work. hope that helps

Hi I'm not sure but normally you would need 2 8 gb of ram tis without adding anything outo get the 16, Most all laptops have only 2 slots for ram and you want to keep them Balanced. Now a days you can also use a lump drive or thumb drive to do this, I put a 64 gig thumb drive in and use it to boost my Ram.

Hello Carlos, This laptop has 2 Memory slots and it can support RAM up to 8GB DDR3. Currently it has 1 slot occupied by a 4GB chip and the other slot is empty. Please let me know if you have any more questions! Sincerely, Rafael

I added another 4 gb to bring it to 8 gb. Before the upgrade laptop would crash when I opened too many windows. Since the upgrade, laptop has not crashed. It has an open slot to easily add the memory.

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded.This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage:http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

The individual specs for the laptop and the individual specs for this RAM seem to be compatible. Mixing this with existing memory may fail. Not because what you have is bad, or this is bad, but because mixed memory sometimes does not play well together.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

No. This RAM is designed for desktop computers. This is a DIMM (dual inline memory module), you will need a SODIMM (small outline DIMM). According to Crucial.com your computer has two slots for memory. It can hold a max of 8gb (4gb in each slot). It appears that the frequency required is 1333MHz. You will want to know how much memory you currently have installed. Click the start button. Right click "my computer" then select "properties" from the drop down menu. It will tell you how much memory you currently ahve installed that Windows recognizes. The next thing to do is shut down, unplug, and remove the battery. Then proceed to remove the bottom panel on your laptop. Look at the RAM and make sure you have an open slot. If Windows says you have 4gb installed it could either be one 4gb SODIMM or two 2gb SODIMMs. If it's one 4gb you can add another 4gb SODIMM into the open slot and you will have the max amount of supported memory installed. To review you the max amount of RAM you can install is 8gb (two 4gb SODIMMS, or "sticks of RAM"). According to Crucial you will need 1333MHz SODIMM. Also, one other detail I neglected is that you will need DDR3, which is the standard these days. Hopefully this is helpful.

No, laptops use a shorter kind of memory stick. You'll have to use the appropriate size module, probably SODIMM. You'll have to look into the hardware information to figure out what exactly your system can handle. Ultimately, no, you cannot use THIS RAM module for your laptop.
