RAM upgrade?

[SavatageMan]

I have the Laptop (HP Pavilion Notebook – 15-ab213ng - ENERGY STAR) with 8GB of DDR3-RAM

Prozessor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU N3700  1.60GHz
I use it only for normal home usage, mainly internet and so, but it's too **bleep** slow now.

My question: How much more RAM can I add to it & can I use upgrade to newer models of RAM (DDR5)?

Thanks in advance.

Hi:

You can't use faster memory than DDR3L-1600.

Faster memory runs at a lower voltage has a different number of contact pins and the slot in the memory circuit boards are cut in different places for each different speed memory making it impossible to fit in the slot.

The Intel specs for your notebook's processor indicates the maximum memory supported it 8 GB.
