I couldn't find anything that dealt with this issue, though it could be that my search string was suspect.
For the HP bw063nr ( a hand-me-down from my dad)
SPECS AT: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05530683
There are two RAM slots but currently has only ONE 4 Gb chip in place. Online info (from Crucial site diagnostic tool and a search by model) says the MAX ram would be 16 Gb via two (2) 8 Gb chips.
HOWEVER, when I launch the CMD
wmic memphysical get maxcapacity
which produces the following result:
MaxCapacity
67108864
DOES THIS MEAN THAT I can install up to TWO (2) 32 Gb chips in this computer. AND, IF SO, considering the age and specs of this particular machine, IS IT LIKELY THAT installing more than 16 Gb would provide an appreciable improvement in performance over 16 Gb?
THANKS
