What's the maximum RAM - is it 2x4GB or can you plug more? Does it support ECC? (Pointers to compatible RAM options would be helpful.)

Max supported is 2x4 (and that's what I'm using), but you can find articles that claim 2x8 works.

Maximum memory is 8192MB. There are two slots. The best way to identify the memory that will work is to go to crucial's website and use their tool to identify the different types of memory that will work.

From HP n40l specifications, o Two (2) DIMM slotso 4GB (1x4GB) Standard/8GB Maximum, using PC3-10600E DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC memory, operating at max. 800MHz. I used Kingston part# KTH-PL313E/4G.

I believe so. The computer supports up to 32G, there are at least 2 memory slots if not 4. It comes with one 4G stick. Just remember that it's ecc

Just found out that it can support 16GB (2x8GB)(see review and comments posted today by Cullen J. Delmore)

Yes, it can accept up to 8GB total DDR2 RAM. Right now it has 2GB, so you could quadruple the amount.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

I am not 100% positive, but I Believe the max is 16GB (I have also seen conflicting reports between 8 and 16) but most places agree there are only 2 slots (so 2 8GB chips for a max of 16). I only saw 2 when I opened it up to add my additional RAM.

Peter, what brand/model/spec were the 2X2 GB? I'd like to upgrade mine also to 4 GB.

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

How do you know if your motherboard will support ECC and Non ECC?I have a Dell Dimension 8200 and it states Non-ECC for memory ram..

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easy You will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

My spec sheet says it supports 16GB - specifically "DDR3L-1600 (Support DDR3) and Slots: SODIMM x 2." Hope that helps.

Not from my research (Crucial.com). Max is 8GB it comes with, broken into (2) 4GB DIMM, one in each slot.

No. ECC memory is only for servers. You should use non-ECC memory for this machine.
