Product: pavilion 6000
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an HP Pavilion 6000 series with 4 GB of Ram.  Can I just add 2 4 GB of ram to increase to 12 GB or do all the sticks need to be the same?

@wilderness,

You still have to buy all new RAM.  Only option is TWO sets of 8GB kit (2x4GB), DDR3-1666.

Otherwise you will have timing errors. According to HP PartSurfer, you have 2x2GB PC10600 DDR3-1333.

You need to specify the exact model number.

Can anyone please help me on this.  The computer is a Pavilion tower model p6719c.  It has 4 GB of ram at the moment but is capable of being upgraded to 16GB.  I have upgraded to windows 10 and really need more ram.  Plan is to put in 2 4GB sticks to increase it to 12 GB but want to be sure it that will work with 2 2GB and 2 4 GB.

 

Thank you.

@wilderness,

You should install matching pairs. That means all new pairs.

That unit operates in dual channel mode, so it is more efficient with paired modules. Attempting to operate with 3 modules will force single channel mode for the unmatched pair, as that slot is empty.

I didn't intend to operate with 3 sticks.  I want to use a pair of 2 GB and a pair of 4 gb.  Will that work and give me 12 GB?  Thank you
