That problem is that there are hundreds of different dv6 models. The maximum even for x64 os in a notebook will be perhaps 8GB. That is not even guaranteed since most notebooks don't accept 4GB memory modules. Post the information that I request below and I can give you a solid answer. It is all about the chipset and model name. :smileyhappy:

 

 

It would help in a big way if you would look at the bottom of your notebook . There is a barcoded tag. Post everything on the tag except the serial number.

 

Best regards,
erico

    Re: how far can i extend my ram ?

    Hi,

    Now you see what happens when you don't give information quickly enough when requested :smileyhappy:

     

    Up to 8 GB DDR2

     

    More than 4GB  is only useful with 64-bit operating systems. Windows 32-bit versions can only access @3.25 GB of RAM. That is by operating system design.

     

    Best regards,
    erico
