HP Pavillion RAM/motherboard

[AndyEdwards1]

Hi

I have already upgraded my RAM to 16Gb 2 years ago, which I understand is the maximum the mother board can take. I really need ta least 32Gb, if not 64 or more to run apps that I need. 

1. can you confirm that 16Gb is the max for my hardware

2. Is it possible to buy an upgrqaded motherboard, onto which I can load up to e.g. 128Gb RAM ideally, or 64Gb if necessary

All other functions of the desktop are fine - e.g. the processor, drives, sound and display, so I dont need a complete replacement. If so, what options do I have to do this.

Thanks Andy

replacing a motherboard on a computer of this type may be either impossible or very complicated!
I would advise you if you really have no choice, to also buy a box, which will accept different models

128 gb, do not think about it in my opinion with this model
