RAM 2GB DDR2 to 8GB DDR3

[RotjeknorUK]

I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-235SA that came with 2GB DDR2 RAM. I want to upgrade the RAM and have done some internet research via the HP website.  I've downloaded the technical and service manual for the CQ62 Notebook where it seems to indicate the Notebook can support up to 8GB DDR3 RAM (see pic).

However  elsewhere on HP site I get information it only supports upto 4GB DDR2 RAM.  (http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02253963).

please can you tell what is possible, I wish to upgrade to as much what is possible but don't want to buy RAM I can't use!
