    The 2 X 2 GB ones.
    I don't think a single 4 GB RAM will work on its on in the M11x.
    Though I may be mistaken.

    Well apparently, PC3 represents the "theoretical bandwith"
    I have no clue(as I am just amateur tech person) what that exactly means though.

    Not sure, wait for other people's opinion.
    Though I do recall something in my Computer ED(took it 2 years ago) about how both RAM pieces have to be the exact same or something like that. Though I could be mistaken.
