Upgrade RAM to 32GB

[Daniiiiii]

I want to upgrade the memory on my HP EliteBook 850 G3 (product number L3D24AV) from 2 x8GB to 2x16GB.

Proudct number: GBV1B10EA

Is possible? Is supported?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

Yes.

Chapter 1, page 2 of the service manual indicates that 2 x 16 GB of memory is supported.

Hello:

This manual indicate:

Supports up to 32 GB of system RAM (mobile workstation)
Supports up to 16 GB of system RAM

The question is if my HP EliteBook 850 G3 (product number L3D24AV) is «mobile workstation»?

When I buy my notebook specifications says:

Very thanks.

Auto-request.

Manual says for HP EliteBook 850 G3

Supports up to 16 GB of system RAM

16384 MB (8192 MB×2)

Sorry,

I didn't see that the 32 GB was only listed for the zbooks.

Run this command to see if 32 GB would be supported in the Elitebooks:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

Very thanks!

Sorry, I didn't know I could get this information from the terminal.
Sorry, my system is Ubuntu (GNU/Linux).

I find that dmidecode is the command for GNU/Linux:

○ → sudo dmidecode -t 16
# dmidecode 3.3
Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs.
SMBIOS 2.7 present.

«Maximum Capacity: 32 GB »

Will this be true?

Very thanks!

Which is the best (reliable) for you?

You're very welcome.

The Crucial memory report for the model series also indicates it will support 2 x 16 GB of memory.

I don't know what memory is 100% guaranteed to work.

Guidelines for the memory:

1 x 16 GB DDR4-2400 = 2Rx8 CL17

1 x 16 GB DDR4-2666 = 2Rx8 CL19

1 x 16 GB DDR4-3200 = 2Rx8 CL22

This would be my recommendation:
