Hi,

One of the computers at my workplace is a Compaq CQ2930EA, with 4GB of RAM installed. Running Windows 10 64-Bit.

I would like to install a bit more RAM, but I'm unsure which RAM I need to buy and how much it will accept/be recognised.

Some memory upgrade sites say the computer will accept/recognise 16GB on a 64 Bit system. But on one page on the HP website it says the maximum is 8GB.

I could just buy some memory of one of the upgrade sites, but I'm thinking if I can identify what I need etc I might be able to get the memory cheaper elsewhere.

Any ideas if another 4GB is the most I can upgrade by? And which memory I need?

Thanks

:)

It's only a computer for running our online business, so won't be buying a new one. Was just wondering how cheap I could give it a quick boost. Because it does struggle when I've got numerous browsers open etc.
