Do laptop mobos have the same amount of slots for memory as PCs do? I'm thinking 4 slots.

Does this match my CPU-Z specs?

No. Most have 2. You do know that you need the smaller SO-DIMM memory, rather than normal memory, right?

4GB just for VM? What a waste of space.

I can tell you from experience with my computers that setting a really high VM space makes very little difference if you have a good amount of ram.

It can help on older systems with under 512MB memory, but if you have at least 1GB, your just losing disk space with that much IMO.
