Hello.
I'm hoping to upgrade my HP Pavilion G6-2237us notebook pc to an 8GB RAM. It says that it uses a DDR3 RAM (DDR3 SDRAM to be precise). Will any DDR3 RAM be sufficient or must I search for a specific one? The 8GB RAM I am interested in buying is:
PNY - 8GB 1.6GHz DDR3 SoDIMM Laptop Memory - Green
This product states it's meant for Windows 10 and older OS notebook. When I contacted their customer service, they told me HP must specify the speed or voltage in order to know if its compatible. It has a 1600 megahertz speed and a 1.35 voltage.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
You can only install 2 x 4 GB of memory in your notebook.
An 8 GB memory module will not work.
You can get compatible memory from Crucial for example...
