How far can you upgrade the ram

As far as you can with two slots of laptop RAM. I was able to put 8GB in there and it improved performance a lot.

If it worked for Jizzy swag, then I would agree that you could upgrade to 8 GB.

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

Are you referring to the CPU by any chance? To be honest I'm not entirely sure. But I believe you could probably find another processor to replace the one that comes with it, since you can get access to most parts by taking the bottom off of the computer. But I just replaced the RAM to upgrade from 1 to 2 gb. I am by no means a computer expert, I just know my way around the internet. :)

No, there is only room for 2 GB of ram. You will have to remove the 512 ram and replace them with 4 modules of 512 each. They need to be in matched pairs of memory modules.

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

The ram can't be upgraded but that isn't a problem for me. The small hard drive was more of an issue but I solved that with a 32 GB card for large files.

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

Yes ma'am according to Asus site you can use this ram 2 GB Up to 16 GB Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1333MHz 4 x DIMM. So I made the jump from 4 gb of ram to 16. Some may say it is over kill but I have no bottleneck in the memory flow.

You can install a maximum of 16GB RAM memory. The mother board has 2 slots.

No, the RAM is soldered to the logic board in all of those models. You would have to upgrade the whole logic board.

You can upgrade the Ram and SSD without voiding the warranty. I have talked directly to technical support at MSI, but only those 2 things can be upgraded.

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

Yes, ram upgrades are very easy. First, unplug the unit and flip it over. Pry off the four sticky rubber feet and unscrew the four philips screws underneath. Next, pry off the bottom. It helped me by screwing in the mounting standoffs into the VESA mounting points and using those to pull the bottom off. Then you just stick a new dimm into the slot and push it down.Here's a perfect upgrade to the chromebox, and its only about $20.Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B Yes, ram upgrades are very easy.

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.
