@BT904AA,

 

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,

@Prométhée,

 

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