HP EliteBook 8740W memory upgrade

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1333 MHz with CL9 timings. It is built for the HP EliteBook 8740W mobile workstation and runs at the standard 1.5 V without ECC or registered buffers. The 204-pin form factor matches the laptop's two or four available sockets.

Replacing lower-capacity DDR3 SODIMMs

The kit raises the workstation to its 16 GB two-socket ceiling or half of the 32 GB four-socket maximum. The jump is worthwhile when the existing 4 GB or 8 GB total limits multitasking, virtual machines or large CAD assemblies. Systems already at the socket limit cannot use this kit without removing modules.

Sustained workload behaviour

Unbuffered DDR3 at 1333 MHz delivers steady bandwidth for long rendering or compilation sessions. The CL9 latency and 1.5 V operation keep thermals predictable inside the compact chassis. No heat spreader is fitted, so airflow through the memory compartment remains the primary cooling path.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-pin SODIMM modules fit the two memory slots in my HP EliteBook 8740W?

Yes, the kit contains two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sticks designed for the EliteBook 8740W, which has two sockets supporting up to 16 GB total.

What is the correct way to seat the modules so they are fully locked in?

Align the notch on the module with the key in the slot, insert straight in until the gold contacts are no longer visible, then press down evenly until the side retention clips snap into place.

Will I need to replace these modules again if I want the maximum 32 GB the workstation can take?

The EliteBook 8740W accepts up to 32 GB across four sockets; this 16 GB kit fills two sockets, so adding another matched pair later would reach the limit without removing these.
