Hello.

I have now 2x(2Gb PC3-10700 667MHz Hyundai Electronics - Hynix DDR3), CPU - Intel Core i5 520M, 2.40GHz, motherboard - Hewlett-Packard 3659, .
Want to upgrade.
Have two questions:
1. Is it true that my laptop can't run with more than 8Gb RAM, if not true - how much RAM can it work with?
2. If 8Gb is the limit, what model of RAM modules i can use with my laptop?
Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but maybe density RAM module is different from the original, runs:

Hi,

 

8Gb (4+4) is the limit because that is the maximum supported by the processor:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01860375

 

SODIMM DDR3 1,5V

 

Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:

■ 8192-MB total system memory (4096 MB × 2, dual-channel)

■ 6144-MB total system memory (2048 MB × 1 + 4096 MB × 1)

■ 4096-MB total system memory (2048 × 2, dual-channel)

■ 3072-MB total system memory (2048 × 1024)

■ 2048-MB total system memory (1024 × 2, dual-channel)

■ 2048-MB total system memory (2048 × 1)

■ 1024-MB total system memory (1024 × 1)

anks for the answer. 
The fact is, i bought the other day this kit:

http://www.corsair.com/en-gb/vengeance-8gb-high-performance-sodimm-memory-upgrade-kit-cmsx8gx3m2a160...

and it didn't work - windows didn't start. What might be wrong?
 Could you please recommend the model of 2x4Gb that would work with my system?
