2133 MHz 4, 8, 16 GB non ECC unbuffered DIMM
Graphics cards
●
Up to PCIe Gen 3 bus speeds.
●
PCIe x16 cards are supported in the x16 slot closest to the processor.
●
Up to three displays with integrated Intel HD graphics (depending on processor type).
●
Windows 10 supports display output from both integrated graphics capable processors and discrete
graphics cards. This feature can be changed through the Computer Setup (F10) Utility.
NOTE:
Most supported Intel Core processors provide Intel HD Graphics 510/530; Intel Xeon processors with
model designations that end in "___5" provide Intel HD Graphics P530.
NOTE:
To drive more than three displays, use Computer Setup (F10) Utility to intermix integrated Intel HD
graphics and discrete graphics cards (with four or more displays, HP recommends using only discrete
graphics cards).
