Desktop Memory HP 1GB PC3-10600 DDR3-1333, single module, 497156-B88

HP 1GB PC3-10600 DDR3-1333 is a single 1 GB DDR3 desktop memory module in standard DIMM form factor. It is designed for systems that support DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) memory speed and provides a straightforward capacity upgrade or replacement option for older desktop computers. The module is intended for use where a small increase in system memory or the replacement of a faulty stick is required to restore normal operation.

Advantages

This module offers compatibility with desktop motherboards that accept DDR3-1333 DIMMs, allowing quick and simple memory replacement or incremental capacity expansion. As a single-module option, it enables targeted troubleshooting of memory-related issues and can be installed without changes to system configuration in most legacy desktop systems. The compact 1 GB capacity makes it suitable for maintaining basic system responsiveness in environments where only minimal memory is required.

Suitable for

• Legacy desktop systems requiring DDR3-1333 DIMM upgrades or replacements
• Repair and troubleshooting of memory faults in older PCs
• Low-memory workstation use where 1 GB additions are sufficient
• Systems used for basic office tasks, light browsing, or single-purpose appliances

Key specifications

• Memory type: DDR3 (PC3-10600)
• Nominal speed: 1333 MT/s (DDR3-1333)
• Form factor: 240-pin DIMM (desktop)
• Module capacity: 1 GB
• Single-rank module suitable for standard desktop memory slots

How to use

Power down the computer and disconnect it from the mains before installing the memory module. Open the desktop case to access the memory sockets, discharge any static electricity by touching a grounded metal surface, then align the notch on the DIMM with the slot on the motherboard and press down evenly until the module clicks into place. Close the case, reconnect power, and start the system. Verify that the operating system recognizes the added memory in the system information or BIOS/UEFI settings.

Recommendations

Install this module in compatible DDR3-1333 DIMM slots only and avoid mixing modules of widely different speeds or voltages. For optimal system behavior, match capacity and speed across modules where possible and consult the motherboard documentation for supported memory configurations and maximum capacity limits.
