Memory for an upgrade

[JohnK64]

I have a HP S01-aF2003w. Product 318K1AA. According to the HP site, when I give them the serial number, they say it's the HP Slim Desktop PC S01-aF2000i (52Z17AV). The memory that came with it is a Samsung 1rx16 pc4-3200AA-SCO-11 4 GB stick. I'm finding 1rx16 pc4-3200AA-SCO-11 memory of 8 GB online. I'm assuming it's a suitable memory upgrade. Just not sure if the board accommodates more than 4 GB memory.

I have a lot of browser pages open and it's taxing my PC to the degree that any video can momentarily be choppy. I installed a hard drive and it seems to somehow help but I thought more memory would do the job.

Thanks for the links. The motherboard page says the 32-bit board can't address more than 4 gigs. Is mine 64-bit?

@JohnK64,

1. Go to Start > Settings > System > About . Open About settings.
2. Under Device specifications > System type, see if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows.

I figured they must mean operating system. Yes. My Windows 11 is 64-bit. Thanks.

@JohnK64,

Excellent, you can double your RAM to 8GB!

I just installed the memory upgrade and now it runs perfectly. Vast improvement! It actually helped some when I installed my 3.5" hard drive. Must have been using the physical drive as a memory buffer.
