According to their website for HP320 product spec (support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03026602) its 4x2=8GB DDR3, but that may be wrong. See comment below.
@@pablohernandezvidal5667 Hmm.. well even if it reads 16GB RAM in Task Manager you may not be able to use more than 8GB due to mobo bottleneck. Please test and let us know if it worked or not! Thanks!
@@letechnology1774 Thank you for the advice! It reads in their website that this PC Supports up to 8 GB on 64-bit systems... maybe they refer 8 GB per module, right?
Hey! I have this same exact pc. Honestly I don't know anything about pc's but I was wondering how I would be able to make games run faster on it. There's an old game (Rollercoaster Tycoon 3) that I'm trying to play on it but the gameplay is pretty laggy. Should I buy more ram or buy a new video card? Which should I buy in particular? I'm currently using Windows 7.
Hello, thanks for commenting! So I would usually say install a decent graphics card.... but in this case I have some bad news. Here's a video I did for your issue, but below is the summary. th-cam.com/video/F4aeYCpLZfA/w-d-xo.html You can't install a graphics card because the TouchSmart 320's graphics are integrated into the processor. To upgrade the graphics you would have to upgrade your processor which could be pricey depending on what you buy. Plus that's exponentially more difficult to upgrade than RAM, hard drive, etc. I always recommend upgrading the RAM and, if in reason (32GB or less) max it out. If you do, it's a one time upgrade and you're done. For the TouchSmart 320 it'll cost you roughly $30 to max it out at 8GB (2x4GB), if that. So since you stated that you don't know much about PC's I would suggest making sure you have plenty of space available on your PC (www.dummies.com/computers/pcs/how-to-use-disk-cleanup-in-windows-7-and-vista/), install a SSD if you don't have one in there already, and upgrade to Windows 10. If that fails I think you'll have to buy a desktop PC, not all-in-one. Buy a cheap desktop PC, install graphics card, done. Of course if it's just for RCT3 then this option wouldn't be worth it but it would be worth it if you play more than a few different games.
Sure!

Hi, so I have the same computer and I recently upgraded the ram from 2x2gb to 2x4gb but instead of saying that I have 8gb available now, it’s saying that I only have 2 and that only 1 slot is being used. Is there something I can do to fix it?
First I'd recommend taking RAM out and install the RAM from slot 1 into slot 2 and RAM from slot 2 into slot 1. Make sure they're pushed in all the way and correctly seated or else they may not be recognized. Also how are you checking RAM (Win 10 Task Manager or CMD)?
Yessir it should, www.amazon.com/Samsung-204-pin-PC3L-12800-1600MHz-M471B5173EB0-YK0/dp/B01CEHOUUM Although I do highly recommend buying through Amazon Smile, as for no extra cost you will be supporting a charity of your choosing.

@@pedrochang358 I would suggest Amazon if possible. As a customer they've been super reliable for me except in very rare circumstances over many years.
Hi Fren. I have HP 320-1038d, i installed 4gb x2 ram on win7 x64 but on system properties it says only 3.49gb usable. Do u have any idea bout dis ? Maybe some settings in bios that i need to change ? It's using AMD A6-3600 apu.
So unfortunately 2 nights ago I was cleaning my gaming PC which kept freezing. When I reseated the processor and turned it on, it said out of 64GB I only had 32GB available and that the other 32GB was dedicated to hardware. My heart sank when I saw that. Note: I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X and from initial research this seems to be an issue with primarily AMD CPU's Let me know if you fix it. If not, over next few nights I'll try: - More research - Remove heatsink and CPU, clean thermal paste off with rubbing alcohol. Then I'll reinstall heatsink and CPU without thermal paste to see if its fixed. - Inspect CPU pins as it fell about an inch but maybe there's a damaged pin? - Play with BIOS settings, but I don't think this is a solution since I haven't touched my BIOs in months.
Tengkiyu for the reply... my aio now detected all 4gb x2 +8gb ram. What i did was mix & match other spare ram module that i have. A combination of them made my aio detescted all 8gb ram. 1 samsung, 1 elpida.
@@akukau4296 Thank you for the suggestion!! I will give it a shot tonight or tomorrow night and let you know if it worked. I'll rearrange the RAM modules.
As an update, I've been super busy with laptop refurbs so haven't played much with it. But I swapped RAM sticks like musical chairs and still same issue. I will try again later this week and reseat CPU/replace thermal paste again. If not, I may swap CPU as it's still under warranty. Just for anybody who the above comment doesn't work for. But try that first!!.
I've got the same PC that it has a lock on it. I don't know that password have not used it in years and cannot reset it. I have the disc and all to restore it but I do not know how to do it obviously. Not going to

Thanks for your video. I couldn't see in focus the description of the RAM unit that you listed. Is it possible that you describe it here? Thank you!!!
Thanks But can we put or change the graphics driver or the graphics card? Pls reply as soon as possible.
Somebody had said that you can put a graphics card near either the RAM or CPU (can't remember which one) but I have not yet confirmed this.
Hi, how are you
How is the issue of compatibility with emulators like Dolphin or PS2?
hey, but what if my PC is running, but my screen is not working like my screen is entirely black

Hi what is the max ram capacity for this pc? 16 gb (2x8gb modules)?
i've just bought 2x 8gb modules por this PC. Ask me in a week if it worked

My initial thought would be to check the display cables and make sure they're plugged into the correct spot on the motherboard
Where can I find the exact power cord for this PC?

I have the same pc but can I use any brand of ram or is there a specific brand of ram I should buy for this?
Thanks for asking, any brand of DDR3L RAM will work.
What is its value in 2021?
Value of the touchsmart PC as a whole? Or the RAM? Value of what? Please clarify and I'd be happy to help the best I can!
how much gb does it support?
8GB on x64 OS like Win 10.
Recommended:
PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333)
PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600)
4gb 2rx8 pc3-10600s-9-11-fp. I have that model and I want to put another one to complete at 8 gb
@Pedro Chang Go for it! RAM is one of the less expensive, yet most beneficial upgrades you can do.
