Adding Memory
Your HP TouchSmart PC comes with random access memory (RAM), which temporarily stores data and
instructions on your HP TouchSmart PC. The HP TouchSmart PC ships with two memory modules, but you
can replace the existing memory modules with higher-capacity ones.
The motherboard contains sockets for SO-DIMMs (small outline dual in-line memory modules).
To determine which type and speed of memory module your HP TouchSmart PC uses, and for specific
memory module information and specifications, go the Web site listed in your Limited Warranty and
Support Guide, and click the Support link.
