I'm looking to upgrade my laptop from 2GB of RAM to 4GB of RAM to enable me to run multiple VM for the 70-290.

I have been to the Crucial website (as recommended on here) and performed a system scan, which has not brought back the memory I need to buy.



I think I have located the right memory which is on this link http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%20dv9700 CTO&pl=HP - Compaq&cat=RAM

However, it would be appreciated if anyone could cast there eye across this and see if I'm going to purchase the right memory.

PS. Vista's Snipping Tool is awesome!

I know that Vista currently only supports between 3GB and 3.5GB, but I thought it was always best to buy memory in pairs?

Thanks for your help!

 

I think this is it http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion%209700&pl=HP - Compaq&cat= to be totally sure use the live help for advice. Are you in the UK? if so click to the UK version of the site. No its not for some reason it stopped the notebook selection I had.

Your is the correct one

 

Yes, I have access, but that would mean using a screwdriver

Only j/k will take a looksi after I have finished studying, should the details be on the existing memory?

 

Yep, I'm in the UK, I shall change the site and will order these if I pass my 70-620 (a little reward to myself )

 

They've improved the access to the ram in HP laptops, unlike the older models where you had to rmove the keyboard and face plates.

HP Pavilion dv9500, dv9600, and dv9700
Entertainment PCs
Maintenance and Service Guide Page 17 shows the position of the 2 Memory banks available!

 

get them anyway just get the ones you chose not mine.

 

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciated

 

Just ordered my shiny new memory. Should be here in a few days, decided to treat myself for passing the MCDST instead

 

You will probably have it by Thursday. When I got my ram for my PC from crucial I ordered it on the Tuesday night at about 7pm and it arrived at 8:30am on Thursday morning.

 

Jesus! Your maximum memory capacity in your notebook is 2000GB, or 2TB of ram??? That's crazy!

Nope, crucial's site has to be wrong unless you have a motherboard the size of Paris

 

it probably means MB

 

Yep, it says 2097152 MB RAM... it's on the screenshot at the top :P Which is over 20TB!

 

A slight mis-calculation then
