Hello... it depends on the MB chipset and Windows versions. have you looked inside to see if you have more slots or How many sticks you have? Most manuals/PDF on your model should give this. can you direct me to the website of your Model?
This page says 8GB... http://www.sony.co.in/product/svf15212sn and you only have 2 slots total too fill.

8GB means your capacity is only 4GB per slot. That's very, very important to remember when buying memory sticks. If you'd buy a single 8GB stick, it won't work because the slot isn't compatible. I'm assuming the link in the post above is the same laptop, considering searching for the original post's model # results in finding the specs for that machine, so it's likely that it's the correct specifications.

Windows version is only important to note in terms of being 32 or 64 bit OS, because 32 bit only supports a small amount of RAM in comparison to 64 bit, and the motherboards in most consumer models support RAM upgrades by a small amount, due to usually only carrying one stick of pre-installed memory in a slot that normally supports double what's already in it. Not trying to step on your toes, Ironsounds. Just clarifying a bit, because it can be very complicated for a novice.
