RAM Upgrade

[HosseinMirzajan]

hi everybody,

I have a hp pavilion-DV6 - 6080  notebook pc.
product number: A7N34EA#ABB

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz, 2001 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 6.00 GB

and I really need it to be faster especially due to its RAM which is currently 6GB
according to the maintenance guide for upgrade options (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252) I must be able to upgrade to 16GB RAm because of the intel-processor I have.
but when I search on the Hp website for my laptop model, the catalogs mentioned to 8GB RAM.
would you please tell me the maximum amount of RAM I can add to my laptop and kind of a link for that RAM to purchase? because there are so many kinds of them out there with different frequencies and staff.
regards,

Hi:

Notebooks with the Intel core processors can take 2 x 8 GB of memory for a total of 16 GB.

I checked too, and see what you mean.  None of the memory sites offer a 16 GB kit.

This model has basically the same specs as yours so the memory recommended in this report should work for your model too.

Don't buy the 1866 MHz memory because your notebook is only going to run the memory at 1333 MHz anyway.

Here are the specs on the dv6-6c14nr...yours actually has a better processor.

AMD models in that series only take up to 8 gigs but your Intel 2d gen Quad Core can run 16 gb. 2 x 8 gig DDR3-1333. I know Crucial posts DDR3L-1600 or even -1866 for these models but I don't believe that memory is optimal. You will have a much better experience with 1.5 volt DDR3-1333. I know it is getting harder to find.
