8192 MB (8192 MB x 1). Does this mean i can add 8GB to both the slots? some websites were claiming that 16GB is supported for this model. while some says only 8GB

Hi,

       As mentioned in the manual the Total RAM supported on this unit is 8GB.

Thats is one 8GB or two 4GB RAM.

Just one more question. I was doing the research, and i found Mr. Memory was selling RAMs and they say that 

"We thoroughly test machines to check the maximum they can take and only if we are a 100% confident we list the unofficial MAX for machines that are proven to work."

This is the reply from them. Should i take their word for it?

Hi,

         This is recommended by HP, if you upgrade to 16GB and if some issue persists after upgrading. Then you have to take care about that. 

So its your call if you want to upgrade based on what HP recommends or from Mr.Memory.
