Hi, good afternoon. Your question about RAM frequency is clear. Based on the manual you mentioned, your laptop supports up to 3200 MHz with dual channel, but it also notes a factory setting that limits it to 2400 MHz for stability. Since you're planning a 32GB upgrade and want maximum speed, you should aim for the highest compatible option—3200 MHz would be ideal if available. However, since your current setup is at 2400, installing a 3200 module might not change the base frequency unless it overrides the setting. It’s best to check the exact model details or contact HP support for confirmation. Just ensure you match the speed with your motherboard and system requirements. Thanks!

Varies by device; without XMP/AXMP/DOCP support, speeds are around 2133 MT/s or 2400 MT/s. Some laptops lack the capability to activate XMP.

Enabling XMP isn't feasible on your HP laptop. There may be no available software or alternatives to boost performance. Consider upgrading to a 2400 memory module if that would help.
