rp2470 memory limitations

[Serge Poitras]

Hello HP community....

My inquiry, I may already have answered but I need to have it sanity checked:

rp2470 (A500) memory maximum is set to 8Gb as per all the documentation out there that I could stumble upon...

Question: has anyone come across a 3rd party or even HP, that has upped that 8Gb limitation with higher capacity DIMMS ?

As always, my thanks to all and your useful infos...

Rgds,
Serge

You have 8 slots and AFAIK the 1GB DIMM is the largest supported.

I found an old spec on my disk saying the same, 8GB maximum.

IMHO even if you would try to use larger DIMMS (are there any?) the firmware would most likely not accept this.

Cool, just confirms my initial findings.

Thanks again for the info and time.
