Can i use 8 gb 1866 mhz to my HP pro 3500?

You should be able to. However, it will likely run at 1333 from the specs I saw regarding the HP Pro 3500.

In short, I should just buy a 1333 mhz RAM rather than a 1866 mhz RAM?(I'm just a noob when it comes to pc)

How much memory do you have installed now? Also, are you using a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?

I'm planning to replace my 4gb ram with a 16 gb(2 x 8gb) RAM i don't know whether 1600 mhz or 1866 mhz. I'm using 32-bit window 7.

To use more than 4GB of memory, you'll need to perform a full, clean installation of a 64-bit version of Windows. 32-bit versions can't take advantage of more than 4GB. It is also not possible to simply upgrade from any 32-bit version of Windows to any 64-bit version of Windows.

Get whatever is cheaper. What specific models of memory are you considering?

so i'll install a new window 7 OS 64-bit version?

Yes. Save your files/docs to an external device/cloud. Part of the install will be to format your primary storage device.

Either of the memory models should work. Given this is an OEM system, I would go with the cheaper of the 2 options.
