I recently purchased an HP G1 800 SFF PC and planned to install additional RAM. Can I fit those HyperX RAM modules into the system? (Please find the attached documents. The PC manual also includes a screenshot regarding memory.) Thank you ahead of time.

I believe the HyperX RAM you selected isn't suitable. You should use DDR3 RAM at 1600MHz, not the higher 1866MHz as shown. The specs also mention CAS latency 11, but HyperX typically lists it as 10. It might be a mix-up—perhaps you're thinking of a different model. A good option would be a dual kit, like the Crucial CT2K51264BD160B, though availability can vary by region.

You were correct. I managed to check the RAM, and the computer emitted a single "BEEP" signifying a memory problem. Appreciate the advice and the clear explanation!
