Suitable for an HP EliteBook 745 G5 (running GNU/Linux)
Laptop originally equipped with 8 Gb of RAM (that's OK, but with two simultaneous user sessions, it's a bit slow), I wanted to extend its capacity to the maximum (32 Gb).
1st surprise, the original RAM strip wasn't inserted in the place recommended by HP :-D (slot n°2, rather than n°1).
No problem installing 2 G.Skill RipJaws of 16 GB each.
But 1st concern on boot: the BIOS only announces 16 Gb available...
However, Debian 12 (KDE desktop) announces 32 Gio (30.3 to be precise).
But the "inxi --memory" command also displays information that looks worrying, for Device-2: "size: 64 MiB" (whereas for Device-1: "size: 16 GiB").
So I loaded the memory as much as I could, with two simultaneous sessions, and was able to reach a usage of 19.3 Gio, without any sign of Linux malfunctioning :-)
Mission accomplished, from now on I won't have to worry about RAM (no matter what the UEFI BIOS says).
