    The second slot was an option on some E1-510 variants. Whether you can simply retrofit a second socket is difficult to say as there may be additional components required.

     

    However, the easier solution would be to simply replace your existing 4GB RAM with an appropriate 8GB RAM (which is the maximum for the single socket on your machine). (One and two slot variants both have a max RAM of 8GB.)

    actually i think my current memory is working on 1333mhz, in specs is written 666, i guess its that, so i may also use 1600mhz ddr3l sodimm, single channel?
