Question Will an i3-330M be a bottleneck ?

[Vaibhav_Rai@]

I have a reallllyyyy old Intel i3-330M on my laptop, with a Hard Disk and a single channel 2GB DDR3 Ram. I'm currently able to run Windows 10 on it but only just. I was wondering if I should upgrade but I'm a little suspicious whether my CPU will support 6GB of DDR3 or Even 4GB in dual channel.

I couldn't find any help online so, it would be really nice of you fellas. Thanks

usually need to look at the laptop spec, they might be different than cpu spec

can't find anything online? first one from search.
here the cpu spec

Okay, I'm sorry, I think I framed the question wrong, let me try again please:

I have a really old, maybe 10-11 years old laptop, it's HP 630 https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02822368

I don't why, here it shows 2nd gen i3 processors, but in my laptop it shows i3 330M. My laptop also have with 2 GB DDR3 ram and an 512 GB Hard Drive.

Now the problem is, if I had to upgrade my laptop with more ram and an SSD, will my processor be able to keep up, or it will just bottleneck? What's the limit?

There are contradiction here. The i3 330M is 1st Generation Intel Core i3.
If this is the one in your PC the link you gave for the HP 630 is not correct.
Either you have an older model, or it is not a HP 630

I know, the information given in the link is contrary, but even the system information shows the same!!

So, the question remains, will it bottleneck with total 6GB?
