    You already have 4GB and it's more than enough IMHO, save your money for a nice little SSD. If you still want to increase your memory, yes it will work but you'll notice very little.

    Thank you ellalan :)
    My concern was the latencys,timings etc. which i'm not to familiar with..

    Now about that SSD, that was first thing i wanted to buy (about year & 7m ago) unfortunately price is still to high where i live in. 9 month ago 4Gb DDR3 was 800+kn (140+ USD) i dont know what happened but now its 169kn (30+ USD) in this store. Lower Mid range SSD is about 250 USD

    Yes, memory has come down in price, for the very same reason I went from 4GB to 8GB but as I don't use any programs which need more memory I don't think it has benefited me. However,there will be a slight improvement in general use but there won't be any "WOW" factor in it.
