According to the parts list for your PC, it has a HP 'Camphor' motherboard.

According to the memory upgrade information for the motherboard, it has two memory slots and can support up to 2 x 8 GB of DDR3/DDR3L-1600 memory.

So, if you want to max out the memory, you can buy two of the Crucial or two of the Kingston 8 GB memory chips.

If you just want a total of 8 GB, you can buy one of the Crucial or Kingston 4 GB memory chips.

Hi Paul, thank you for your details of analyzing my request.

I have ordered the Crucial 8GB memory.

I will update this post after I finish the installation and see if it works.

Hi Paul, after I have installed the additional 8GB RAM, (12GB memory now), since then my desktop is running great with much faster response and without any issue. Very Happy about the performance now.

Thanks
