I'm not surprised that there's a big price jump. It looks like 2x4GB is $100-$140 at Amazon. If you're willing to spend that much, and the machine recognizes it, it would help quite a bit. And might save you reinstallation time, etc. But you can get a new machine that's probably much faster and better supported by spending only a little more. http://dellrefurbished.com/laptops HTH.

Amazon mixes up stuff all the time. That's a DDR3 part. - (Another Scott) - May 11, 2016, 03:50:09 PM EDT

Well, to fit mechanically you need SoDIMM (i.e. small outline) modules. - (a6l6e6x) - May 11, 2016, 05:28:04 PM EDT

It squealed like Steve Ballmer on a canoe trip, unexpectedly pressed into entertaining hillbillies.
