    Hello,
    I have a hp pavilion DV6707us and am looking to upgrade the ram i know it can handle up to 4gb but i don't know what the max speed it can take is.
    Right now it has the stock 2gb of 5300 and i also just got this and payed $557USD do you think this is a good deal because i still have 10 days to take it back if i like.
    thanks in advance for all your expert opinions.

    It can handle DDR2 PC2-6400 or DDR2 PC2-5300
    You can get a good price on RAM here:

    Please note: How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, you will need a 64-bit version of Windows.

    And yes, that is a good price for this laptop.
    Most places online are asking $700 to $800 for it.
