Product: HP Pavilion dm4-1173cl Entertainment Notebook PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

what is the correct memory type for a hp pavilion dm4-1173cl? HP parts store say it takes PC3L-12800 DDR3L and I don't think this correct since the notebook currently has PC3-10600S memory installed.

Hi, @SDM96 

 

It is very hard to find the right memory for HP notebooks with the Intel 1st generation core processors.

 

This memory should work fine if you want to upgrade to 2 x 4 GB.

 

G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8G...
