Can I upgrade the ram for HP Elitebook 8460p 16GB?

Hi,

Here's the ifixit HP Elitebook 8460p memory replacement guide which may help.

Here are the specifications for the laptop which show that DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz) is used but as @v3nuo stated DDR3L will also work as well as it it dual voltage.

It also shows that the laptop supports a maximum of 16GB (2 x 8GB)

thanks for the comment!

my lap Standard type is DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)

if i use 1600mhz will be any effect?

Hi @ cyber ops

It may depend on what exact CPU model you have. It may only go to 1333MHz so the 1600MHz ram will work at that speed i.e. 1333MHz

It really doesn't matter as you won't be able to notice the difference anyway.

You would be better off replacing the HDD with a SSD (if there isn't one there already) to really see an improvement in performance

RAM can only do so much.

The bottleneck in laptops are the chipset, CPU and the motherboard design and there is a limit to what you can do and no more to get performance improvements.

Your laptop was designed 10+ years ago, which is a lifetime in computer terms. It is showing its age and it may become a matter of economics as to whether to spend money or not for very small improvements in performance

I put a Samsung ssd and 16gb ram. 170 bucks all in all . Runs like a dream but beware windows updates . Hardware drivers are non existent so your speakers may go or the touch pad.

Hi @wesley wild

If no Windows 10 drivers available old drivers will often work fine IF installed in Windows Compatibility Mode. I have done this successfully many times with old systems and Windows 10.
