4GB DDR3 Upgrade for HP Elite 8300

This 4 GB DDR3 module runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5 V. It is built as a single 240-pin unbuffered DIMM using major-brand chips in a 2Rx8 configuration. The stick is designed specifically for the HP Compaq Elite 8300 Microtower PC (ENERGY STAR) and carries the vendor's lifetime warranty.

DDR3 Speed and Capacity Limits

The DDR3-1600 interface caps transfer rates at PC3-12800 bandwidth. A 32-bit operating system can address only 4 GB total, while a 64-bit OS allows the platform maximum of 16 GB across four sockets. Non-ECC unbuffered operation means no error correction or registered signalling is available.

Simple Slot Installation

Installation requires aligning the 240-pin key with the motherboard slot and pressing until the retention clips click. The only common issue is mixing this non-ECC stick with ECC or registered modules, which prevents the system from posting. Verify the OS architecture to reach the intended capacity.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this single 4 GB module or look for a larger kit?

The stick provides 4 GB in one 240-pin DDR3 module; the Elite 8300 Microtower has four slots and supports up to 16 GB with a 64-bit OS, so you can add more identical sticks later.

What does the 1600 MHz rating actually deliver inside the Elite 8300?

The module runs at DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) with CL11 11-11-11 timings at 1.5 V, giving the standard throughput and latency the platform expects for everyday workloads.

Does the 240-pin DDR3 interface limit anything on this HP system?

The 240-pin DDR3 DIMM fits the Elite 8300's four unbuffered non-ECC slots; the board's memory controller caps total capacity at 16 GB, so the interface itself is not the bottleneck.
