Hi Chuck


Specs:http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv7-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/4247665/model/4...

Manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02642701


Upto 8gb max.

Page 3, 23, 57 in Manual gives the details you need.


Put two 4gb stick of exactly same configuration, speed etc as in Manual and each other, possibly same brand. Crucial, Kingston have their online scanners which lists guaranteed compatible sticks.

You can also order HP part, if you need to get exact part from either HP part store or online retailers via Amazon or eBay.
