Difference between DDR3 SDRAM and DDR3 SODIMM for laptop

asus-laptoplaptopmemorysdramsodimm

I have an ASUS A55VD-NS51 laptop with 6GB of RAM and I've been wanting to upgrade the memory for a while. I've finally decided to go through with it, but I am unsure as to whether to buy DDR3 SDRAM or DDR3 SODIMM for it. There is no indication of which kind of RAM it uses, and frankly, I'm not really sure if there is a difference or not, but I would love some insight!

UPDATE: Just ordered more RAM based on what you guys are telling me! Thanks!

Suggestion: Since, you already have 6GB (4GB+2GB) of memory, you need to replace the 2GB with a new 4GB for max upgrade, the extra ram should be exactly the same as the original for maximum upgrade performance
