Looks like your machine is already up the limit:

Thanks for that link Banhien

If i select in "quad processor" it tells me I can go up to 32GB maximum memory 2 banks of 2 slots

I will thus add more memory and let you all know how it goes

Hi,

Yes, it should support up to 32GB with quad core CPUs and 16GB with dual core.

Page 2 of service manual.

Hope it helps,

Just a note

I opened it up and there is only 1 slot in the rear and 1 slot n the front (under the keyboard)

I would advise anyone else opens theirs up at the rear, and removes the DDR3 - under this you will see the boad type - mine is 595764-001 which only has 2 memory slots - 1 front  & 1 rear

This is something else you need to check before upgrading memory.

Model number  8540p or w?

no of processors - dual or quad?

no of slots available - 2 or 4?
