    Looking for RAM
    « on: April 30, 2019, 08:13:03 PM »
    I have an HP Compaq Pro 6300 that I am looking for more RAM for and not sure what to get or even what will work in the computer. I have been looking at  Crucial 4GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800, ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LDLUW8?tag=price17016-20&ascsubtag=wtbs_5cc66ef308e5bc58e77281a8&th=1) or DRR3 1600 MHz RAM 4GB Desktop Memory, Motoeagle DDR3 PC3-12800 UDIMM 1.5V 2RX8 Dual Rank Module Chips (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MDJ54DB/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07MDJ54DB&pd_rd_w=KfNBv&pf_rd_p=8a8f3917-7900-4ce8-ad90-adf0d53c0985&pd_rd_wg=beq9f&pf_rd_r=GNQVDBZMPPW3ZJVNEWJK&pd_rd_r=8a17dc86-6a2e-11e9-8627-41445435c50e). Not looking to spend an arm and leg for it

    Hello bellow,

    Get ether 1 module of this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MDJ54DB/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07MDJ54DB&pd_rd_w=KfNBv&pf_rd_p=8a8f3917-7900-4ce8-ad90-adf0d53c0985&pd_rd_wg=beq9f&pf_rd_r=GNQVDBZMPPW3ZJVNEWJK&pd_rd_r=8a17dc86-6a2e-11e9-8627-41445435c50e
    to add to the one in the computer. Or buy 3 to add to the one in the computer if you want 16gb.
    The single goes into the same color socket as the one installed. Normally the  black sockets on your model

      Sorry thought you had the desktop version . So just one of those memory modules is needed. to go with the one you have.

        Just a thought: try the crucial memory scanner. See what recommendations it gives you: https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/systemscanner?cm_re=us-top-nav-_-us-flyout-memory-_-us-memory-ad-scanner

        good luck!
