Hi,

 

Your PC supports max 8GB of DDR3, 1066-MHz RAM

 

You can see various configurations on page 5 of service manual

 

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02623161

 

On page 61 you can see various steps to upgrade RAM.You can also use 1333 Mhz Ram which will run at the lower speed.

 

Example:

Hope it helps,

David

Thank you. For some reason I couldn't find this manual, maybe I used the wrong combination of words.

Anyway, thank you for the help.
