So I have a Presario C700 with 3GB of RAM. I achieve this by placing the 1GB RAM on the lower slot. However I am more interested in upgrading RAM because 3GB is not gonna boot Chrome up. So can I replace the 2GB on upper slot and replace it with a 4GB? Please ignore any grammatical errors, thanks.

Hi:
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook.
According to chapter 1 of the manual, the max memory is only 2 x 1 GB.
Since you already have 3 GB installed, it may be possible that you can remove the 1 GB chip and install a 2 GB chip.
On some of those older models even when you install 4 GB, only 3 GB shows up as usable.

There have been members who have asked about upgrades to the Presario C700 over the years.
There is nothing official that says that installing more than 2 GB will be a successful upgrade,
however there have been members who have reported success with 6 GB,
Here is an example of a thread.
