HP Pavilion Slimline S5000 series RAM upgrade

[Eauceanblu]

My desktop PC (HP Pavilion Slimline model # s5730f) came with 4GB of RAM, and it is supposedly upgradeable to 8 GB.  However, the motherboard is only equipped with 2 memory sockets, each of which can house a 2GB memory module.   Can two additional memory sockets be installed, or is that something that needs to be done in the factory?

Hi,

The below HP part number is for 4 GB dimms that were certified for the motherboard in your PC.

497158-D88           Memory - DIMM, 4GB, PC3-10600, 9-9-9, DPC 

If google the part number you will find that the dimms are available.  Buy a matched pair and avoid problems.
