I want to make sure it is Frequency wise 2400...I already know it is DDR4 in my laptop..just need to narrow down the details so I can walk in to the store and buy the 4GB stick to replace the 2 GB stick inside..I want my memory to be at 8GB...so performance increases.

Neither, if you want the exact model you'll likely have to purchase it online.

If by chance one of those retailers carry Samsung memory, I think Best Buy might, then they aren't a bad option. Even with shipping it is sometimes cheaper online.

It's bad practice to mix and match ram. If you must upgrade your ram, do so with a matched pair also known as a kit. One other thing to keep in mind, since you're on a mobile computing device, you should first make sure you're on the latest BIOS since older BIOS revisions can limit your choice of ram.

Speaking of choices, you should pass on the make and model of your mobile computing device in order for us to see if your system can handle the ram you're looking for. A lot of times the manufacturers can cripple their own devices to favor buying new hardware/gadgets.

I am here because I tried all other sources...the only thing that tells me what I got in terms of DDR4 sticks is my Radeon settings...it tells me I have DDR4 even the box came with a sticker and hp labeling stating DDR4...
it is a law to not mislabel products..now I just need a picture and frequency of the DDR4 stick and I will be able to walk into the store and locate it on the shelf.

I need to know for sure what I got before I open it.

The A10-9600p Came with Dual Channel 2x4 DDR4 stick 4GB and a 2GB...
I want to change that...I bought my A10-9600p in july 4th last year...

believe me I know,I been doing alot of digging...I posted questions in microsoft forums as well as hp about finding out just what I need to know.what type of DDR4 do I have alongside of the 2 GB stick and buy one more to replace the 2 GB stick..I need details and a picture of what it looks like so I can go get one...I cannot get a straight answer.

Not sure what to tell you then. Everything you could possibly need to know about the memory can be gotten from the system. The BIOS can tell you quite a bit, but CPU-Z will retrieve everything.

Type, Voltage, Capacity, Speed, Timings. Nothing else should be required.

If you want someone to tell you exactly what to buy, you will have to figure out exactly what you have. There is a method in front of you.

Crucial's memory selector is a good resource for figuring out what an OEM machine will take, but it won't necessarily give you an exact match to memory you already have.

Or, take the memory out and bring it with you, hand it to the sales rep and say you want a 4GB stick of this.

Thank You for showing me where I was confused and overlooking the obvious info...for the longest time i was confused and going by the cpu-z and gpu-z info and other online software tools..etc...

and the funny thing is it does not match up with what radeon settings tells me and my msinfo32 system info tells me...so I never 2nd looked the 2400MHz in the description of the Processor info saying what I have..it says AMD A10-9600p Radeon R5,10 Compute Cores 4C+6G,2400MHz,4 Core...so,it makes sense the RAM will be same frequency as APU Base speed.

I was wrong the task manager shows slot 1 and 2 in performance running as 1866MHz but it is DDR4 and it is a Samsung DDR4 4GB and a Hynix DDR4 2GB....

Memory controller The number of controllers: 1
Memory channels: 2
Supported memory: DDR4-1866
Maximum memory bandwidth (GB/s): 29.9

What what place would be better to buy store wise?Best Buy or Walmart?
I do not want to do online...and I do not want to do different speeds and mix matching etc...I want it to be the same DDR4 Samsung to be very careful...

What can you tell me???
