[cyrusyn]

Hi everyone,

I have HP P7-1234 desktop with A6-3650 chip which supports PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) and runs Windows 7 64bit.

Will any of these memories work on my computer? Some of these are PC3-12800.

You can use crucial to find the exact available RAM upgrades for your motherboard. To answer your question yes and no. Yes most computers that use 10600 can support 12800. I have 12800's in my PC now, that originally used 10600. However, some PCs might be built strictly for 10600. It all depends what Motherboard you have, but crucial should tell you exactly what you can handle.
