I want to upgrade my current laptop from 4gb to 8gb ram, but i'm not sure if it is possible with only a dual core processor. It says everywhere that it is able for an upgrade to 8gb ram, but i need some assistance. It's a 64bit laptop btw - toshiba.

According to the user manual, the motherboard supports 2 X 4GB for a total of 8GB.

Yes it is possible with that model. The product specification about Maximum Memory:

System Memory standard: 4.096 (2.048 + 2.048) MB
maximum expandability: 8,192 MB
technology: DDR3 RAM (1,066 MHz)

Hence you can use upto 8GB DDR3. But you need 64bit version of OS.
 

Well, since u have x64bit Windows go right ahead and get full 8GB RAM : )
