Just wondering how to upgrade the ram on my pc. Do i have to buy the exact same make? I know i would need the same specification but does the manufacturer matter? Thanks

Welcome to the HP Support Community  @Campi48 

 

Manufacture in most cases does not matter.

 

What does matter is to try and keep your "Dual channel (2 DIMMs per channel) memory architecture"

 

Dual-channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU.
