what is the maximum RAM that can be installed in compaq 615
my daughters both have one of these laptops each. They are really smart and great to use. Only one problem has occured with these and its the sound. Sometimes when your watching videos or listening to songs, ths sound goes off ans the sound bar get frozen so you have to restart your whole computer. Also a couple of times with the sound, when listening to earphones, the speakers started blaring and the computer had stopped the earphones from being used. again we have to restart the computer. We know these were not the actual headphones as they worked for other devices. Apart from that, its a fantastic laptop
The HP Compaq 615 can support up to 4GB RAM.
