I'm wanting to upgrade my hp Pavilion 15 (15-cs3075wm) laptops ram from the 8gb. I can't seem to find the maximum capacity on hp but crucial says 64gb is the maximum but im not sure if that's correct. I would be happy with 16gb but wouldn't mind going to 32gb if I can. If anyone knows what the maximum ram capacity is it would be appreciated. Also, crucial seems to suggest a 3300mhz ram stick but the laptop comes pre-installed with a 8gb samsung 2666mhz. I'm not sure if that's fine to get a 3200mhz or if crucial suggestions aren't accurate. Again, if anyone has the answers it would be appreciated.

Crucial Memory knows what they are talking about and guarantees their modules. If they say 32 GB, then 32 GB it is.

 

There is also a link at Crucial.com which explains why they say more is possible than what HP says.

 

Choose a pair of their compatible 8 GB memory modules  for your happy 16 GB upgrade. 

 

It is 3200mhz, not 3300mhz.

 

A 3200 MHz module will downclock to the 2666MHz that the BIOS and system board are happy with on its own.

Thanks for the help. 1 question though: if I put the 3200mhz ram sticks in the laptop will it downclock on its own? Or do I have to change settings in the BIOS or anything?
