Yes. Make sure you match the exact specifications of the memory (DIMM, Speed, DDR type etc)
This page has information on your memory module if you don't have it handy:
http://www.memorystock.com/memory/SonyVAIOPCVRZ20C.html
Using that information, you can buy matching memory at any online retailer, memory manufactuers(kingston, transcend etc) or searching Google with your model number followed by memory will display results tailored for your computer.
A quick note though, 32 bit systems can only recognize memory till 4 GB.
Cheers
