Hello All,
I have a Sony E series Laptop (vpceb34EN). It currently has 3GB RAM. I planning to replace the 1 GB module with a 4 GB RAM module. But I am not able to find the frequency of RAM which mathes with the existing 2GB RAM. Below is the my RAM configuration shown by Speccy.

I am guessing that I can go for 1333MHz RAM. Am I correct ?
Can I buy any of these ?
Kingston DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) Sony Laptop RAM (M51264J90FR) - Kingston: Flipkart.com

Corsair DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM (CMSO4GX3M1B1333C9) - Corsair: Flipkart.com

Please suggest me ..
