RAM Upgrading

[DewaRuci]

Hi, i have elitebook 8460p with 4gb of RAM, I want to upgrading my ram to 8gb.
Am I just buying another one and putting it in the slot or have to buy a new one ?

Here's the Service manual:

See page 70 and 79-80. There are two slots and you probably have a single 4 gig module of DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM and can just add another 4 gig to have 8 in total but the laptop is capable of running 2 x 8 = 16 gigs. 

One thing to be aware of. You say you have a 32 bit version of Windows. If that is the case you can install 8 gigs but Windows can actually only use about 3.5 gigs in 32 bit configuration. You have to install a 64 bit OS to use 8 gigs of RAM.

Thank you.

My architecture x86, but i'm just checking and i see

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2540M CPU @ 2.60GHz

CPU op-mode(s):      32-bit, 64-bit

maybe I can use Win 64 version.

No maybe about it you should use a 64 bit OS to get the best performance. The processor is fully compatible with x64 instructions and will also run x86 software as well. I do know you can't fully use 4 gigs let alone all of 8 gigs with a 32 bit OS.
