Ram and SSD compatibility

[IFDeniel]

Hi everyone!

I've got a pavilion dv7 4019sz notebook and I want to upgrade the ram up to 16 GB. I found here a specification list and in it I read that pavilion dv7 with an intel processor is support 2x8 GB of ram but I found another list where I read only 2x4 GB of ram.

So what is the truth?

Also I want to take in an SSD and it supports maximum only 160 GB of SSD. Can I take in a bigger SSD?

Sorry for bad english, I not speak it very well.

Thanks for the answers.

Hi:

I can't find any specs on your notebook.

What model Intel processor does it have?

SSD...you should be able to install a SSD up to 1 TB...maybe even 2 TB.

The 160 GB SSD is all that HP offered in the model series.

9 or 10 years ago when your notebook was manufactured, a 160 GB SSD would have been very expensive.

Thanks for your reply.

It has an Intel core i5 m430 2.27ghz processor.

You're very welcome.

1st gen Intel dual core processors have a max memory capability of 2 x 4 GB.

It is reported that the Intel 1st gen quad core processors can support 2 x 8 GB, but your notebook's processor definitely cannot.

OK. Thank you!
