Can I insert 2 8gb ram in the two slots of HP 255 G6 because it says maximum is 8gb, is it 8gb per slot or 4 gb per slot?

Hi:

 

It would be something you would have to experiment with.

 

The service manual states you can install 1 x 8 GB and leave the second slot empty.

Crucial states you can install 2 x 4 GB for a total of 8 GB.

Personally, I've never heard of an instance where if you can install 8 GB of memory in one slot, that you couldn't install 8 GB of memory in the second slot as well, but I am not a hardware engineer.

 

If your notebook is one of those with the e2-9000e processors, I don't believe those can go beyond 8 GB of memory.
