I ended up running crucial.com to find out. Have ordered through Best Buy.

Okay, bonskibon37, I'm going to need specs of what you're trying to put the RAM into. How much do you have now, and what are you trying to accomplish here?

If it is a desktop PC, I need to know if this is custom built or a particular brand pre-built. If custom, then what is the brand/model of the motherboard? If a branded pre-built, then the brand and model of the unit.

If it is a laptop, please give brand and model of the laptop.

Also, what is your CPU: Brand/model/speed. If overclocked, what have you overclocked it to MHz-wise?

If this is for a phone, have a soldering iron and extremely steady hands ready.

I've built a lot of PCs, and getting the proper components is a specialty of mine. Just give me the extra info and I'll see what I can do to assist.

Thank you for your help... I have a Toshiba Satellite L75-B7270 and will be getting a PNY - 1 X 4GB DDR3 Low Voltage Notebook Memory to add to my existing 4GB ram... have an empty slot and upgradeable to 16, but don't need that much right now. Got some help from Best Buy finding the exact kind I needed for my system. :smile:
