A question about RAM (ddr3, notebook)?

I want to upgrade my HP notebook from 4gb to 8gb. The notebook has only one Ram slot. That means the 4gb must go out and the 8gb in.

This hardware is needed: 8GB RAM | DDR3 | 204 pin DIMM | SO DIMM | 1600MHz | 1.35 volts

My question is: Since only one slot is available, may I then only use the variant 1rx8, or can I also use the variant 2rx8?

Just use this one, it should fit: https://geizhals.de/...ml?hloc=de

Surely he only has one? Mostly notebooks have two.

The second one likes to hide under the keyboard, which you can easily get out of HP.

If you mention which device you have exactly, an answer is easier. Then you could just look, if there's not a second slot.

The dual-rank bar "2rx8" looks faster for the processor at the same timing.

Yes, he has one. Model: hp notebook 14-bs031ng

R.A.M.

1st slot: 4 GB

2nd slot: Free

If in the manual, where usually lists of usable modules, nothing is in it, it should not matter which variant you take, 1R or 2R is a module-internal organizational structure bez. ECC (ErrorConnectionCode), which has nothing to do with reading and writing data.

Cool, thanks. I did not know that, had read something else. Can you tell me if I can use 8gb in the 2nd slot, so a total of 12gb or a 4gb module must be used? And can I use 2rx8?

You can use two different ones, I usually recommend two of them.
In any case, it is important to install two modules in order to use dual channel.

And how much ram at most?

The device has 2 RAM slots as described. So you can put a second 4 GB bar.

I do that, thank you.

In addition I find on the fly no information.
Just as little to which Ram modules are supported.
Is probably installed but a 1600mhz 4GB module and the 2nd slot is free as I said.

Therefore, I would simply get the same ram again (4GB DDR3L-1600).
More than 8GB makes no sense anyway, because the thing is certainly not really suitable for gambling with the iGPU.

You are right 8gb in total, rich.

Unfortunately, I have not found any documentation that says where to find the second RAM slot. Check that out before. If you have to disassemble the entire computer to install, it could be easier or cheaper to buy an 8GB bar.

Read manufacturer specifications.

Otherwise Ram at the professional seller, stating the notebook buy.

Thanks for the hint.
