Hey I have a old laptop...I don't use it very much but still thinking to upgrade it
Dell inspiron n4050 i5 it says that it supports 8 gb ddr3 1333 bus ram
I have a 4 gb ram I was thinking to buy a 8 gb ram and use one ram in all
But what does it mean 8 gb ram support? I mean 4 gb x 4 gb ram = 8 gb ram support slot wise or just max 8 gb ram support whether I use it in a single slot
