HP Pavilion Laptop PC 15-eg3000 IDS Base Model

Hi! I was thinking about upgrading my laptop's ram and I wanted to know if it was compatible with DDR5 Ram type, I know 13th gen i5 Processor is compatible, but I don't know if the others components are. For those who could help me, my laptop is an HP Pavilion15-eg3000. I don't know is there is more information needed to be provided.

 

In case it is not compatible with DDR5 Ram, what is the maximum frequency of Ram Speed I could use? Aside from that, what is the maximum capacity of Ram I can Install?

Hi:

 

HP indicates that the memory specs for the model series is DDR4-3200.

The reason it would be impossible to install a DDR5 memory chip in a notebook that is configured to run DDR4 memory is because DDR5 memory runs at a lower voltage than DDR4, has a different number of contact pins, than DDR4 and the slot in the DDR5 memory board is cut in a different place than it is on a DDR4 memory chip, so it will not fit in the DDR4 memory slot on the PC's motherboard.
