Looking to find supported RAM for my laptop

[Solitaire23]

Hello all,

I was looking to add some extra RAM to my laptop to speed it up a bit - currently I have 4gb so I was looking to add another 8gb maybe, or 12. I was wondering if someone could please point me to some RAM that would be suitable for my laptop as I've tried looking around and it seems to be a bit of a minefield.  I've included some info:

Product number: 4AR98EA#ABU
Serial number:
System memory: 4GB
Memory slot 1: 4GB Samsung 1866 MHz

Thank you in advance

It has 1 slot of RAM and supports 8GB max. You can replace 4GB with 8GB Samsung RAM or the following compatible RAM (will run at 1866MHz)

Hi, @Solitaire23 

Below is the link to the Crucial memory report for your notebook.

Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | hp - compaq | hp 15-db series | HP 15-db0521sa | Crucial.com

It has one memory slot, and the max memory the slot can take is 8 GB.

So in order to upgrade the memory, you would have to remove the 4 GB memory chip and replace it with an 8 GB memory chip.

You should be able to get this part number in the UK...

Hi Paul,

Thanks so much for your response. I just wanted to query the maximum capacity of 8gb if you don't mind. I used the top method here to see what the maximum capacity for my laptop is earlier:

2 Steps to Check Maximum RAM Capacity of Your Computer (shareus.com)

When I've done this, it's returned 67108864kb, or converted I believe that's around 67gb. Is there a reason why I couldn't install more than 8gb in this case?

Thanks again.

You're very welcome.

Your notebook's processor can only support 8 GB of memory with one memory slot.

The slot max is 8 GB.

If you were to install a 16 GB memory chip in that slot, the chances of it working would be slim to none.
