Disassemble /ram upgrade

[Allan27]

Hi im planning to upgrade my ram, just want to ask help on how to disassemble my hp-14cf000ne step by step because i couldn't find it on youtube. Maybe you can give a link on how to disassemble it. And also i want to ask which is better to have a single stick of 8gig ram or two stick of 4gig each ram? Thank you in advance..

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook, where you can find the memory removal and replacement procedure.

If you don't want to add 2 x 8 GB of memory, it is better to have 2 x 4 GB than 1 x 8 GB.

Plus it will be cheaper to just buy another 4 GB chip and add it to the existing one.

But if you plan on later adding an 8 GB chip and removing the 4 GB chip, then get an 8 GB chip now.  It won't hurt.

With one memory chip and an empty memory slot, the memory runs in the lower performing single channel mode.   With memory installed in mismatched, capacities such as a 16 GB chip plus an 8 GB chip, the memory runs in single channel mode.

But with two memory chips of matching capacities (2 x 8 GB, 2 x 16 GB), the memory runs in the higher performing dual channel mode.
