So there is some speculation as to whether or not the HP ProBook 4540s can handle 16gb of ram.

 

I recently purchased this laptop from tigerdirect.com

 

-Windows 7 Pro64 bit


-Core i5 2.6ghz

 

-Came with 8gb (2x4GB Kingston)

 

-Claims support on website for 16GB (2x8gb

 

-AMD Radeon 7650M

 

Is it possible to upgrade this particular model E3V00UT with 16GB of RAM with no performance degradation?

Please and thank you for responding and viewing.


Best,

-Robert
