HP NotebookPavillon dv6 1058el
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good morning,

I have upgrated my HP Pavillon dv6 1058el from WindowsVista to Windows 7 and now with Windows10 64bit.

 

I want to increase the RAM memory.

 

Now I have 2 modules "2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12-E3"    for a total of 4GB.

 

I want to install:

- or 2 modules of 4 GB for a total of 8GB;

- or 1 only module of 8GB.

 

Please you could tell me what and where to buy these new RAM module/s?

 

Thank in advance

 

Claudio

Well here is the problem. Your memory is DDR2 which is obsolete. They do make 4 gig DDR2 modules (not 8 gig) but a pair of them is going to cost well over $100US and perhaps as much as $150US. Too much to spend on a laptop that old.
