Can we add more RAM? If so, how much max RAM can we have on this machine?

I had to return my rebuilt unit because the battery life was about 15 minutes and the screen was slightly damaged, they offered to fix it but I did not want to be bothered. I do know RAM chips are available, try www.macmemory.com for starters.

We send out upgraded Dell OptiPlex 780's and they can take 16GB of DDR3 RAM. Just make sure to email us after purchase so we make sure to put 64 bit on it so it will read more than 3.5GB. Thanks, Computer World

Of course, but if you choose Win7 x32 bit, then you will be limited to only being able to use 4gb of the 8gb installed ram. I suggest Win 7 x64 bit to maximize all usable ram.

Specs don't say RAM is expandable. You have to go much further up the product line for upgradeable RAM.

How much Ram do you have in your machine? What is the Processor speed. That would play a factor as well.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

This model can support up to 16GB. There are two RAM slots, one is occupied by 1x8GB leaving a second one open for upgrade.

It can take 8GB total..4GB per slot...Must Use a 64-bit operating system to see the full 8GB of ram.. Be sure you have a compatible CPU..it only takes 65 watt processors...Good Luck!!

Yes, it can accept up to 8GB total DDR2 RAM. Right now it has 2GB, so you could quadruple the amount.

According to the Manufactures specifications the board WILL accept a maximum of 32 Gb or RAM if you can locate the proper modules. I found some on Newegg.com and I am sure if you research other sites you may find more. The limit of 16 mb that others have mentioned is because they have not look far enough.

same configuration yes, however does the Windows OS you have support more RAM? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx) and does the motherboard?they should but just some items to check and be sure.....

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

I would suggest you get a later version that would allow for more ram to be added. This machine is slow. Could be a headache for tasks that require heavy files or working with programs that require speed. I use this for documents and internet surfing.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

Add more memory, you can play any games but it's meant more for business applications. Hope this helps .

Yes, I also add a SSD, actually, I dont think you need 16GB RAM, just my advice. :D I guess u can add two RAMs, cuz I dont remember how many slots it has(it is under the keyboard, if u need help to open keyboard, just ask me).The only one problem of dis laptop is system, but I install Windows 8. hmm...I like dis laptop. P.S. it is not too heavy.
