Hello,
I would like to upgrade the Ram on my HP 14q-cs0014TU with a CRUCIAL RAM 8GB DDR4 2666MHZ CL19 MEMORY (CF8G4SFRA266)
The default ram is present in the laptop is Samsung 4GB 2666Mhz (samsung m471a5244cb0-ctd).
However the product specifications on hp says that it supports a DDR4- 2133 SDram.
Will it be okay if I install a crutial 2666mhz 8gb ram along with my original samsung 4gb 2666mhz ram card and use them together?
It's just that I'm worried if the new 2666mhz will work ever since I saw that the hp product specifications mentioned 2133mhz.
Will I be able to use them together or will there be any compatibility issues.
I expect the new ram to speed boost my laptop.
Thank you

Hi:
You will be fine with the Crucial memory chip.
I think it is a good idea to match the same spec memory as what HP installed.
Your notebook's processor can only run the memory at a max speed of 2133 MHz, so the memory automatically bridges to that speed.
It is my assumption that HP installed a DDR4-2666 MHz memory chip in your PC because that is what they had on hand at the time.

You're very welcome.
See if you can get this part number...I think you made a typo in your first post on the part number.
