It would depend on your mobo, not the hardware that you've listed there. If you say the system can only handle 2 gigs we can only go on what you've told us. Honestly, I think 2 gigs is enough.

That may simply be all the HP will supply this specific laptop with and you may be able to use more, but I can't find a definative answer. Like I said before, 2 gigs should be plenty and 4 gigs may be overkill...this is just my perception.

you are using a 32bit os anyway so 3.2 GB would be the most ram your laptop could see.

Sure. But when it comes to Vista, 3GB is quite a bit more than 2GB.

According to Crucial (Memory company), the maximum memory the dv6137tx can take is 2GB. If anyone other than HP would know if the system could support more than 2GB of RAM, they would know.
