I'm installing the i7-2860QM - can I now increase the RAM to 32GB ?

 

I already have the maximum RAM for the i5 being 16GB and would like to know if I can increase that to 32GB after installing the  i7-2860QM.

 

Thanks.

I don't believe so.

 

The maximum memory supported per slot is 8 GB.

 

See chapter 1 of the service manual for the memory upgrade information:

Thanks.

I thought that the 16GB might be a limitation of the i5.

You're very welcome.

 

Some of the HP mobile workstations with the quad core processors have 4 memory slots and those would support 4 x 8 GB of memory.

 

Also, you will find that 16 GB DDR3 memory chips are very expensive if you can find them at all.
