It is a CTO (Configure To Order) machine therefore we can't find its specs. You can only find its specs on your invoice. Now, you can use the following ways to find out
Since it is too old, HP does not keep Maintenance and Service Guide for it, only
https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-g70-200-notebook-pc-series/3837664/model/3878212/manuals
From my research, it uses 4GB max DDR2 RAM. Max RAM for each machine is determined by 3 main factors:
- 32 or 64 bit CPU : 32 bit CPU can't access to anything above 4GB.
- RAM limit of operating system: 32 bit OS can't access to anything above 4GB.
- RAM limit of motherboard
You can install Windows 7 (64 bit) that means it passes the first two BUT may not pass the last factor. You can use CPU-Z to check current RAM specs on your machine to buy more RAM for it (throw away 1GB and buy 2GB). New version of CPU-Z
