RAM UPGRADE VPCSE1J1E

[Jr.VAIO]

Hello, I want to upgrade some components for my labtop (name: VPCSE1J1E, model: PCG-41414M):

I want to upgrade the ram of my labtop it has 4 gb of ram but I need 8 gb.

Where can I buy the ram?

Wich ram should I buy?

Does my labtop has capacity for 8gb?

How many slots does it have?

and should I get one ram of 8 gb or two rams of 4 gb?

I also want to know if I can upgrade the CPU

Is it possible?

Wich CPUs are compatible with my motherboard?

THANK FOR YOUR REPLY!!

Hi Jr.VAIO,

Welcome to the Sony Community.

We'd recommend getting in touch with Sony Support for further advice on this.

As Sean_Mc has said, look at the Crucial website here:-

You will see that the motherboaard supports a total of 8GB of RAM in two slots of 4GB each.

Your Intel Core i5-2430M is a Sandy Bridge dual core processor and the top of the range  VPCSE1C5E has the Intel Core i7-2640M which looks compatible but I wonder if the upgrade is worth the expense.
