HP pavilion P6000 (memory support)

[Sojoda]

About a year ago I bought a brand new HP pavilion P6000 series (Model #: p6605f) desktop (W7 64bits.

I was searching info about memory upgrades for this PC, but Is it true the HP pavilion P6000 series (Model #: p6605f) desktop (W7 64bits) supports ONLY 4Gb ????

Really ???

Sojoda, welcome to the forum.

The amount of memory supported depends on the operating system.  If it is 32-bit, you can only install up to 4GB with only 3.25GB available for use.  If it is 64-bit, which is what your computer is running, you can install up 16GB.  Here is the information from the specs:

• Dual channel memory architecture

• Four DDR2 SO-DIMM (240-pin) sockets

• Supported DIMM types:
• PC2-6400 (800 MHz)
• PC2-5300 (667 MHz)

• Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered

• Supports 4GB DDR2 DIMMs

• Supports up to 16 GB on 64-bit PCs

• Supports up to 4 GB* on 32-bit PCs
• 32 bit PCs cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

On the link provided by Manjunath, it says on the Memory upgrade section:

• Supports DDR3 DIMMs only

• Dual channel memory architecture

• Two DDR3 DIMM (240-pin) sockets

• DIMM types:
• PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
• PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066)
• PC3-6400 (DDR3-800)

• Non-ECC memory only, unbuffered

• Supports 2 GB DDR3 DIMMs

• Supports up to 4 GB on 64-bit PCs

• Maximum memory only if using 2GB DDR3 DIMM modules
  So, does it really support ONLY 4GB total ? or hopefully 16 Gb as you pointed out ?
  This HP Pavilion p6605f is running W7 64 bits.
  Thansk again.
