Daily I use my notebook and I like it a lot.  It's my only computer.  I am thinking of upgrading the RAM to 8GB.  What RAM specifications do I shop for?

 

Thank you.

 

Mark KF8RV.

i have been researching to upgrade RAM too.  However, I found found that there are options to get either the 10600, 10666, or 12800 for PC3.  Can any of them be used in this specific laptop?

HP Recommended
Can you use PC# 12800 or does it have to be PC# 10600?
