Product: HP Compaq 6510b
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Maximum allowed memory for HP 6510b notebook is stated as 4GB in specs, for 2 slots.

Is it possible to install&use memory over 4GB to this notebook normally?

If not, is it possible to mod its hardware, BIOS or loaders to install&use memory over 4GB?

Thank you for your answer GOLD_MASTER. I understand that it's a chipset limitation/feature/spec which can not be overcomed/surpassed.

 

For people with similar issue; with different computers and different capacitiy demands...

- Install maximum amount of RAM allowed.

- Use an architecture of your OS capable of fully addressing it; 64 bits version.

- Replace your rotatioal HDD with an SSD.

- Define/set a huge pagefile/swap space. ("Two times the recognised memory" as minimum.)
