Hi,

Your PC supports max 8GB RAM (2x4GB)

2 customer-accessible/upgradable memory module slots

Supports dual-channel memory PC3, 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB), DDR3

Supports up to 8 GB of system RAM in the following configurations:

■ 8192-MB total system memory (4096 MB × 2, dual-channel)

■ 6144-MB total system memory (2048 MB × 1 + 4096 MB × 1)

■ 4096-MB total system memory (2048 × 2, dual-channel)

■ 3072-MB total system memory (2048 × 1024)

■ 2048-MB total system memory (1024 × 2, dual-channel)

■ 2048-MB total system memory (2048 × 1)

■ 1024-MB total system memory (1024 × 1)

So it does not support 8GB module

hope it helps,

David
