My HP Pavilion DV6000 currently has 2GB of RAM. When I bought my laptop, it had Windows XP Home Edition and I upgraded to Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, because it came with a free upgrade pack. Inside, the two RAM slots are filled each with 1GB to add up to 2GB. What I want to do is take out 1 of the 1GB and replace it with a new 2GB stick to add up to 3GB.

Hi guys,
I have a HP Pavilion DV6 and was wondering if I can increase the RAM to 8GB? Any ideas how I can do this? Anything I should be aware of when buying laptop RAM?
Thanks
