I am really struggling to find a 4gb memory upgrade. I can only seem to find 204 pins when a 200 pin is required.

 

Here is the link to the HP site for my PC

 

https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03045018?jumpid=reg_r1002_uken_c-001_title_r0001

 

Can someone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance.

You're very welcome.

 

Yes, that appears to be the correct memory.

 

You only need one module though, correct? 

 

That link is for a pair.

 

If so, you only need to add another 4 GB memory module in the empty slot.

 

So change the quantity needed in the drop down box.

 

Run the free crucial memory scan tool, and it will tell you how many memory slots are populated.

Hi:

 

Looking at the motherboard specs...

 

The 200 pin description is incorrect.  DDR2 memory has 200 pins. 

 

All DDR3 notebook size memory has 204 pins.

 

You need DDR3-1333 memory (PC3-10600).

 

It has to be 1.5V, non-ECC, unbuffered, 204 pin.
