Is it possible to add more video RAM to this system?

The video RAM is soldered on the main board. It is not upgradable. For W530, it has 2 options for customer, Nvidia K2000M and K1000M, both of them come with 2GB DDR3 video RAM. For my experience, 2GB is enough for this laptop. If you are planning to upgrade video card in the future, you can take a look on DELL precision laptops, (M4700 & M4800) they have a interchangeable video card. You can choose between ATI and NV cards. Hope this message can help you. Thanks!

No, it is not. Video is on board, embedded. You can add more system memory though.

Yes you can. Because of the small amount of ram it may need to reload often. Some of my video seemed to run in slow motion.

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

Hi Vickie D, You must have atleast 1GB RAM (if you save in High Definition: 2GB RAM)

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

Yes this card has 6gb video memory they made two versions. I own the 6gb version

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

The motherboard supports a total of 128GB of RAM. So that would allow you to put a 16GB module into every DIMM slot.

Since it is a 64 bit system, you can upgrade the ram up to 32gigs but the most available in one RAM card is 8 gigs so 16 gigs is pretty much the max.

No there is no place to add extra memory, but it has 8 Gig built in, thats 3066 pictures & 29 Min. of video.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

I can't imagine you really need to upgrade the video card.. it already has a very powerful one installed... Unsure about the memory upgrade question

Matthew Smith, Yes you can. The maximum memory capacity for the system is 16GB. Please note that the proper installation of memory or any other component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.

Hi Diane, Yes you can, pre installed RAM is 6GB, maximum RAM supported is 8GB. Thanks, PCrush
