HP Touchsmart IQ506 RAM (Memory) Replacement

Introduzione

If your RAM has failed or you need to add more memory to your HP IQ500 Series AIO PC, this is how you would do the upgrade.

Maximum supported memory: 4GB

Required memory: DDR2 (SODIMM)

Supported speeds:

PC2-4200 (533MHz)
PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
PC2- 6400 (800MHz)

Note: While the system accepts PC2-5300, it is hard to find. If you find it, it tends to be rather expensive compared to PC2-6400. Your cheapest option for DDR2 is going to be PC2-6400.

With the RAM exposed, remove the RAM from the slots on the system by pushing the tabs back. Once you do this the RAM will pop up and you can remove it.
Install the new RAM. Make sure you line the tab up on the memory with the slot in the system. It should only go in one way.
