Ram Upgrade / M.2 Upgrade on m3-u103dx

[rvacs]

So my question is:

- Looks like this model according to specs is a 1 slot Memory Module for DDR4 2133 - it currently came with 8gb RAM  - will it recognize a single 16GB DDR4 Module 2133?

- Also this has the M.2 SSD Drive 128Gb

will it take standard M.2 SSD Drive upgrades like from Crucial

Thanks,

Rich

Hi,

Your model supports up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM 2133    (2x8GB)

You have an M2 slot where you can insert a M2 SSD type 2280.

Thanks Iomare,

I did see this as well...  I guess because this unit is a little odd....M.2 SSD and 8gb - and spec sheet:  

https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-m3-u100-x360-convertible-pc/12499204/document/c0531...

Showed 1 8gb Dimm - never mentioned another DIMM slot.

Ok - So I guess I just need another 8gb RAM Module....wonder if it would take a 4GB with that 8GB  just so its DDR4 2133 Mhz.  ??

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

You could add a 4Gb DDR4 2133 Ram in second slot. For best system performance and dual channel capabilities you should use exactly same Ram. The best option would be to buy a kit of 2 sticks of exactly the same RAM. You can find these kits online for cheap (cheaper if you do not buy on site of manufacturer). This will give greatest performance and stability.

The spec sheet usually only shows what is exactly in system.

Hope it helps and let me know if you need any further help with upgrade,

David
