Product: Pavilion 15 AU084-TX
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was bit confused about upgrading Ram. My System currently have sk hynix single channel 2133mhz 260 pin ram. Then i search for single channel 8gb but can't find it in India except dual channel ram. I have a question that if i combine 8gb dual channel 2133mhz ram with 4gb single channel 2133mhz then is it safe or not ?? Combining dual channel with single channel would make any difference?

Hi:

 

There is no such thing as single channel or dual channel memory.

 

Single channel means there is one memory chip in the notebook and one slot is empty.

 

Dual channel means that two memory modules of the same capacity are installed in both memory slots (example 2 x 8 GB).

 

Here is the link to the Crucial memory report for your model.  I have selected the India site for you.

 

They guarantee compatiblility.  The 2400 MHz memory will automatically downclock to 2133 MHz to match the processor's FSB speed.
