HP Slimline Desktop - 270-p043w
Ubuntu LTS

From HP's documentation, my PC can be upgraded to 16GB RAM at most.

But from my Ubuntu command line,  "sudo dmidecode -t 16" shows that motherboard can handle 32GB (see below).

Who is right?   Is it possible HP documentation is for Windows OS only?

Thanks!

hp indicates what has already been tested, validated
sometimes it is possible to install more
You have the same result sometimes, using this site:
