HP Elitebook 8560w: upgrade my ram and the correct use of slots

Hello - my first post!

I just bought HP 8560w refurbished seller.  It has a quad core processor and four ram slots.  I can post the SN and product number if it helps with my request.

I want to max out my ram without disturbing the keyboard.  I currently have 4 x 4 ram installed so that four locations are used.  My machine will support a maximum of 32 of ram.

Here is the query - I can remove the 2 ram sticks of the slots I can easily see when I remove the back (I guess these are slots 3 & 4) and replace them with 2 sticks 8 ram each?

It would give me a total of 24 ram - 2 x 4 under the keyboard (slots 1 & 2) and 2 x 8 in two other passers-by.

This upgrade would be OK and be recognized by the system?

Thank you, Russ.

Hi, Russ:

It seems that you can according to the maintenance manual.

He says that one of the compartment of the expansion memory slot should be filled with a chip to add a slot 2.

It also says the same thing about the locations of primary memory under the KB.

See Chapter 4, page 51.
