Hi guys!

My laptop's exact spec are given here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04296205

I wanted to ask

1. which 8 gb ram will be compatible with my laptop.
2. For deep learning(or modern gaming) purpose I wanted to upgrade graphic card (preferably NVIDIA(as it has CUDA support) - is NVIDIA graphic card compatible with AMD A8 6410 APU?), which one is suitable and compatible?

My overall budget is (RAM+graphic) around: $140 - $145

Please help

You need to either sell your laptop or get a desktop, you can't add a video card to your system unless you want to install an external PCIe 16x slot with a power supply and video card which runs at PCIe 1x speeds, or spend a few 100 on the newer USB C external docks, which don't work with all laptops.


Hey Bro no 1 thing Your Laptop supports 8GB DDR3L 204 PIN memory and secondly upgrading the gpu bro i am not sure about whether you can change your gpu or Firstly it has An APU i dont think so it might have an seperate mobile Gpu slot.
 


thank you regarding RAM info bro!

So
1. should I upgrade the APU?
2. which APU/GPU upgrade will my laptop support?
3. APUs are similar to GPUs in gaming/deep learning performance wise?
 


Your cpu and video card are not up-gradable.

Get a desktop or a faster laptop for gaming.
 


You can't upgrade your CPU and upgrading the RAM would require alot of time, knowledge and skill to get at it. You need to buy a more powerful laptop or buy a Desktop if you want the option to upgrade in the future
 


Thank you for your input bro but can you please suggest compatible nvidia graphic card with my laptop?
