Ram upgrade for HP G62

[Nelson93]

Hi I'm currently the owner of a HP G62 B25sa and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to upgrade my ram from the 4gb supplied to 8gb I would purchase from amazon. Within the specifications it says that I has a 4gb limit but I'm not sure if this applies to the capacity per stick or the total ram. Here are the pages about my laptop and the ram I am looking to purchase; any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for looking!!!!

Hi:

The service manual states you can upgrade to 8 GB of memory.

Your notebook I believe, comes installed with one 4 GB chip, so you should only need to purchase another 4 GB PC3-10600 module.

Hi thanks for the response 🙂

My laptop currently has 2x2gb sticks of ram so if I was to purchase the 2x4gb of ram off the amazon link I provided would that be adequate.

Thanks for all the help!!

Hi:

Yes, the 8 GB set you posted should work just fine, but it will only run at 1066 MHz per the service manual.

Thank you so much!!!!!

You're very welcome.

See my edited post. The memory will only run at 1066 MHz, not 1333 MHz.

Yeah I assumed that because I used AIDA64 to see the speed of the ram/type 🙂

I've just ordered the ram; can't wait!

Thank you so much!

You're most welcome.

I'm sure you will notice a nice boost in performance with 8 GB of memory.

Hello,

Just wondering if you managed to get this working? I got some RAM with the same specs from Ebay here here

I have installed the RAM and although I have a 64bit OS installed it will only see 4gb, also in BIOS it will only see 4gb 😞

Any advise?
