How do I add storage memory and needed parts/memory.
Also, how do I determine if I currently have the maximum allowed storage memory.
Thank you, James
Is this a good question?

To start with here's a spec sheet on your system: HP EliteBook 8530p Notebook PC
Here's HP's memory upgrade guide for your system: Memory Modules User Guide. You'll need the following:
Total memory supported = 8GB

You can use any combination up to a maximum of 8GB made up of 1GB, 2GB and 4GB modules as long as they are all DDR2 800MHz (PC2-6400).
The options are 1GB = 1+0, 2GB = 2+0, 3GB = 1+2, 4GB = 4+0 or 2+2, 5GB = 1+4, 6GB = 2+4 and 8GB = 4+4.
Here’s the maintenance and service guide for the laptop.
Go to p.57 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the memory modules

Hello,
Is it possible to have 2 GB in one slot, and 4 GB in the other, or do the slot have to have the same capacity (2x2 or 2x4)?
Thank you for your answer
Chris
