Product Name: Elitebook 8440p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi HP Community 

I want to upgarde the RAM capacity on my HP Elitebook 8440p from 4Go (2Go*2) to 8 Go (4Go*2). Knowing that the last capacity is the maximum allowed for this laptop .. the problem is i'm a little bit confused with all the following values i found in the specs of each component :

- The Intel Core i7 620M specs says that the memory types that should be used with this processor is DDR3 800/1066 which corresponds to a PC3-6400 and PC3-8500.

- I found a 2*(2GB 2R*8 PC3-10600S-9-10-F2) Hynix RAM in my laptop .. --> 10600 is higher than 8500 

- A friend gave me a 2*(4GB PC3-12800) to upgrade my RAM capacity .. but 12800 is  higher than 10600 i found installed

 

I want you to tell me if this upgrade is feasable/Riskless for the laptop or should i buy the 4GB PC3-10600 and stay out of the troubles 

 Thank you in advance for your aswers
