So I have a HP Compaq 8100 cmt with 6gb ram (2gb died) I wanted to upgrade to 14 and I bought 8gb 1600mhz GEIL (my motherboard supports 1333mhz but the guy that works at the store said It will work on lower frequency). I tried that ram and it didn't work even if I only put that one in PC so do I need to buy HP ram or can I go with Kingston or crucial. My motherboard is Hewlett Packard 304bh

It should work in lower frequency, but sometime the chip may not work with the motherboard due to compability.

If i were you, bring the pc to the shops and let the guy install it for you, so when it fails you can swap with the one that doesnt.
