I usually use the crucial memory advisor to find out what would or
would not work.

On first boot the BIOS might complain that the "amount of memory has
changed" but just going into the bios and back out should sort that.

Linux will find the extra memory too, no problem.

The only issue is that if you're thinking of hibernating the laptop
then you might need to increase the amount of swap space you have
configured.

Cheers,
Al.
