Upgrading RAM

[Marupa]

I want to do a RAM upgrade for my HP 15-BA029AX but I'm not sure about what frequency of RAM that I need to buy in order to optimize dual channel cofiguration. When I check product specification on official page (https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c05402468), it says 8 GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM (1 x 8 GB) on memory module. I also checked using HP Support Asistant and it says 8 GB 1866MHz . This led me to open and check my ram stick by myself and found yet another different value (2400MHz, pictures attached). Is it a safe bet to just buy a similiar memory sticks? Any help appreciated

Hi:

Yes, I recommend that you get another PC4-2400 Mhz memory chip.

The processor can only run the memory at 1866 MHz, so the 2400 MHz memory 'downclocks' to that speed.

See if you can get this brand memory/part number in Indonesia...
