I am going off to school and need a reliable laptop. I purchased this used model (described in the title) from a local computer hardware store around a year ago, and so far it has worked well for me. However, I'll need more speed at school, and as I can't afford a new laptop with comparable specs, I'm looking into upgrading this one. I've found a compatible and affordable SSD and battery, and now I need RAM. I'm looking to find 8GB at an affordable price, but I don't trust myself to find one that'll work for certain. Any help would be appreciated, and to that end here is the motherboard's manual; the memory specifications are on page 14: http://www.intel.com/assets/PDF/datasheet/320122.pdf
 
The only DDR2 SODIMM 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) dual channel kit found (so far) is Crucial part number CT1006822. This part is also known as part number CT2KIT51264AC800.

Most other memory manufacturers do not appear to have compatible DDR2 SODIMM 2 x 4 GB kits available.
