Welcome to our HP User Forum!
Your Compaq Presario CQ3420IX Desktop PC (BT904AA) is compatible with: DDR3 PC-12800, 1600 MHz, DIMM, Non-ECC 240-pin, Maximum RAM memory: 4GB ( 2 x 2GB).
Here is one 2GB purchase option via Amazon (you need two sticks): https://www.amazon.com/Memory-HP-Compaq-Presario-CQ3420IX-DDR3-12800/dp/B06XKNZD8P?th=1.
As per HP PartSurfer, HP lists 1GB DDR3 RAM options, which are all but useless.
Hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards,

Yes, I know. This RAM, however, is specifically defined to be compatible with the HP-Compaq Presario CQ3420IX.
