I have HP af008ax and want to upgrade my ram from 4gb to whatever it can take. Any recommendations on which RAM will be compatible with it?

Hi,

Max RAM would be 16GB even if the service manual mentions 8 GB.

So 16GB of DDR3L 1600MHz RAM (2x8GB)

Example

You should also replace the Hard Drive with a 2.5"  SATA3 which would give a great boost to everyday performance of the PC.

 

On page 44 of service manual you can see the steps to install the RAM

Hope it helps,

David
