HP Compaq 6005 Pro Microtower RAM type?

[addenadde]

Hi! My parent's computer has been quite slow for a while, they asked me about the problem and when I opened Task Manager I saw that only 2GB RAM was installed in the system and 1.7GB is usable. This, of course, isn't enough for anything these days.

The CPU is quite good but the RAM isn't enough. The computer is from 2012 if I remember correctly.

My dad uses it to pay bills and online shopping and my mom uses it to browse the internet and listen to music.

My question is: What kind of RAM do I need to buy for them? I need all the information for it so I don't waste their money.

Thanks in advance.

So the PC doesn't need system specific RAM?

No.

It just needs low density memory, non-ECC, unbuffered, PC3-10600, 1.5V.

It is a very hard model to get the right memory for, so I saved you the trial and error method by selecting two models for you that I am 99.9% sure will work.

The G.Skill is cheaper.
