Hi @Ji521,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Current Specifications:

• Before purchasing RAM, verify the current RAM specifications and maximum supported memory for your model. The HP 15s-eq2158au typically comes with DDR4 RAM, and it's important to match the specifications.

Checking Maximum RAM Capacity:

• Refer to the HP Product Specifications or user manual to check the maximum RAM capacity your laptop supports. Many HP laptops support up to 32GB, but it’s best to confirm specific limits for your model.

Kingston RAM Specifications:

• The Kingston RAM model KVR32S22S6/8 is a DDR4 RAM module with a speed of 3200 MHz. Make sure your current configuration matches this specification or that your system can support it.

Considerations:

• Speed: Ensure the speed (3200 MHz) is compatible with your HP 15s-eq2158au, as slower or faster speeds may result in the RAM operating at the maximum speed supported by the motherboard.
• CL Rating: The CAS Latency (CL) should match or be lower for optimal performance. Check current RAM’s CL rating if available.

Dual-Channel Support:

• If upgrading to more than one module, check whether they support dual-channel operation as this can significantly increase memory bandwidth and performance.

Kingston Recommendations:

• Aside from KVR32S22S6/8, look for other Kingston modules within their ValueRAM or HyperX lines that match your specifications. Ensure any module chosen matches in terms of voltage, speed, and timings for the best compatibility.

Installation and Testing:

• Once you receive the RAM, ensure correct installation by seating the RAM properly in its slot. Test your system thoroughly to ensure stability and performance improvements after installation.

I hope this helps.
