Product: HP Omen 15-Dc0088nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello everyone

I have HP Omen 15-Dc0088nr with 8gb RAM on board. I know that my notebook support up to 32 go RAM. My question is, what if I will upgrade RAM with installing in second slot not 8gb module but 16gb ram module? To get totally 24gb. Is this possible?  It will make sense for performance? Will this upgrade work good? 

Thanks

Hi:

 

Yes you can do that, but I recommend your end result should be to have 2 x 16 GB installed.

That is because when you install memory in mis-matched capacities, such as 1 x 16 + 1 x 8 GB, the memory only runs in SDR (single data rate) mode.

When you install matched capacity memory for example 2 x 8 GB or 2 x 16 GB, the memory runs in the better performing DDR (dual data rate) mode.
