Hi:

 

On the CTO models HP does not provide specs.

 

To make matters worse, your model does not have a service manual linked to it where you could look up the memory upgrade info.

 

My suggestion would be for you to run the free Crucial memory scan tool, which will report how much and what kind of memory your notebook can use.

Now, I did find this G60 service manual, and you can look at the specs in chapter 1 and see if you have any hardware such as the processor, that matches what is listed here.

 

If you have a processor that is listed in the manual, then the memory info listed in the manual should also apply to your model.
