Do you know where I can find the best deal on 8 gigabytes of memory for my laptop?

@OP, what laptop model/make do you have. We need to know that before we can recommend anything.

I honestly don't think it's worth the time or money. With those specs, your laptop should be fine. If you're looking for speed, try installing an SSD?

For a lot of laptops you actually can add memory.

.... I never said you can't? I'm fully aware that you can, although most of the time it's a waste.

Sorry, I meant to say that it can be useful. Many reviews on the laptop said upgrading/adding memory makes the laptop faster.

In a lot of the reviews it said that adding memory made the laptop faster.

That's only true if you're running with 2GB of ram and on Windows 7 or higher. 8GB is more than enough. That's not the bottleneck, the bottleneck would either be the GPU or CPU, which unfortunately is not up-gradable on a laptop. So I would save your money and invest in a new computer.

DDR2/3?

Why do you want more? 8 is more than enough for anything you can do on a laptop.

I'm pretty sure I have 8 gigabytes of memory so far. I also want to add memory.

it depends what laptop you have. You aren't being very specific, OP.

What laptop you have.
Specs. Replacing memory or adding memory.
