Product: HP EliteBook 840 G3 Base Model Notebook PC

is it possible to intall ram of higher mhz. i would like to install 1x 32gb or 2x 16gb but most options available are of higher mhz than 2133. Is it going to make any difference? Will it damage anything?

The Crucial memory report for your notebook indicates that it will support 2 x 16 GB of DDR4 memory.

 

HP - Compaq EliteBook 840 G3 | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial.com

 

You cannot install a 32 GB memory chip in either of the memory slots.

 

You can install memory up to DDR4-3200 MHz CL22 but any memory you install that is faster than DDR4-2133 MHz will automatically bridge to 2133 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook's processor can run the memory at.
