So I currently have 3gb ram but I want to upgrade to 4gb. I know that its best to be in dual channel so I'm getting 2x2gb ddr3 ram.
So the ram I'm getting is DDR3 1600MHz PC3 12800. My motherboard is this - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01925534&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4328417
It doesn't say whether 12800 RAM is compatible, however on the cruical scan I did it says my motherboard is compatible.
DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-12800
Memory Type: DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
Currently Installed Memory: 3GB
Total Memory Slots: 2
Available Memory Slots: 0
So is the RAM I want to buy compatible?
