i googled it and nothing came up
i found this on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-HP-Pavi...57838699?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item2ec40f646b
it claims it has 12gb of ram
so if thats true it would have a 4gb stick and a 8gb stick
so i am thinking of maybe getting 2x8gb sticks or getting another 4gb stick
i run VM at school so im thinking it may help
also would 1866mhz ram work? i know it would help the GPU some

Memory

Hello,

Max is 8GB only. It has 2 slots and max per slot is 4GB. Since you already have 6GB of memory installed, you will have to remove the 2GB module which is installed and add another 4GB in order to max it out.

Click here for compatible 4GB memory module.

Good luck with the upgrade!! :)

P.S - The eBay ad contains incorrect info. :bang head
