Websites like crucial.com let you enter in the details about your computer and will tell you what kind of RAM to get. Crucial has good RAM, but you can still use that information to buy similarly spec'd RAM elsewhere.
Awesome, super helpful. Do you have recommendations or favorites regarding brands/value for RAM? Or shops for purchasing from?
I like Crucial. I take their model number and search on Amazon. Then pick the lowest price.
Hugely appreciated, just picked some up and can't wait to try it out
Cruicial has a downloadable scanning tool which you run and it tells you exactly what memory you need, you don't have to look it up yourself. They'll then offer to sell you the proper RAM which you can either do (Crucial is good quality) or just copy the specs they tell you and search on Amazon or wherever and you may find a better price. Since you're not familiar with different brands I would suggest going with Crucial, their prices are generally reasonable.
Thanks so much. Just pulled the trigger on Crucial, now staring out the front door peephole til it's delivered...
