Hello Everyone and good day J

I have a lenovo laptop model SL-510 TYPE 2847-BWG

And I want to Upgrade his Memory

So I have been read Detailed specifications in the site of lenovo about my laptop model

( i attached the link in the end of the post )

and see that my laptop model support up to 8GB maximum memory with Dual-channel capable

Then I noticed under the specifications this details :



Memory

  • PC3-8500 Non-Parity (NP) Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) Technology
  • PC3-10600 Non-Parity (NP) Double Data Rate Three (DDR3) Technology
  • Dual-channel capable
  • Two 204-pin SO-DIMM sockets
  • 1 GB, 2GB, 3GB, 4GB,
  • Supports up to 8GB maximum memory

So of course I would rather upgrade to 8gb ram with 2x4GB

Because I just have two slots …

But I'm a little confused … What's better? The PC3-8500 or the PC3-10600 ?

And should I take two sticks of the same model ? same company ?

for they be work on dual Together ?

Of course, I'd love you to recommend me suitable types of memories models

And Recommended Companies

I appreciate your help and want to Thanks in advance everyone J
 
PC10600 is faster.

It's best to buy a pair of identical sticks (they don't have to be in a kit), but if you're buying the cheapest available then there's little point looking for two different companies. Just buy two at the same time.

I'll miss a few I suspect, but the following brands tend to be okay: "Kingston", "Corsair", "Crucial", "G.Skill", "OCZ"
 
In all honestly, you won't notice any difference between the 2 RAM speeds besides maybe in artificial benchmarks.

Like cb600 said, you might as well buy a kit with 2x4GB; different RAM companies used to matter more in DDR2 days, but not so much now in DDR3, as tech is a bit more forgiving nowadays with different speeds/timings/voltages (though its always best to get them as close as possible).

+1 to G.Skill, as well.
 
thanks for your replys dear friends

I found some models

Which one do you think is right for me

1) Corsair Memory — 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 SODIMM Memory (CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9)

I would appreciate if you can tell me What is the best model and the best quality

And what is very important to me is the dual channel memory

so what you think ?

Thanks in advance everyone
 
Any of the above will serve your purpose fine, pick whichever is cheapest!

They'll all be compatible in their respective pairs, so dual channel mode shouldn't be a problem.
 
thanks again for the reply ,
so Finally, I decided to Purchase (new ) the Kingston KVR13S9S8/4
(8GB(2x 4GB) DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 (204 PIN) SO-DIMM)
to my laptop model Lenovo thinkpad SL-510 TYPE 2847-BWG
( Of course after reviewing specifications Computer support up to 8 gb memory )
but when I put the memory cards into my laptop and try to turn on my laptop the screen is not turn on and stay black screen
Of course, the computer does not beep ,
When I return the old memory (2 gb stick ) to computer is working and screen show up

I would appreciate it if anyone has / have suggestions or ideas for this problem ?
