Older Laptop More RAM
Online where is a preferred site to get more RAM for an eight year old laptop that has very little RAM? It's not an Apple - merely a standard.

My usual method is to first use the online memory tool from a trusted manufacturer such as Crucial, to find the specific memory modules and capacities supported by your laptop Bios. Then, do a search for best price.
I would also search user reviews of the memory modules you are considering to make sure there is no specific compatibility issues with your laptop.
On a side note, for older PC/MAC hardware, I've bought them on Ebay for best price. However, in my personal experience, around 50% of the memory modules I've bought used in this manner, are either incorrectly listed, usually wrong memory capacity, or were defective on testing. In which case, the sellers have always refunded my purchases and told me to keep the modules if they work. Recycle if not.
