My laptop only has one 4gb stick in it now, do they need to be compatible with one another?

Don't worry about matching brands, the majority of memory is made in the same factory anyways. But type, capacity and frequency do matter, those need to match.

the newer laptops don't need to be the same GB or brand, but need to be correct part though (of course) I have a 4gb and a 2gb in mine and it works great.

It is best to pair matching memory. So you'll want to buy another 4gb stick if that's what you currently have. Make sure the frequency is the same too, the majority will be 1600MHz. If you want to be sure you'll need to look up manufacturers specs online for look on your existing memory or it might be on the memory itself. Hope that helps.

As far as I know, they need to be the same speed. They also Have to be the same type (DDR2, or DDR3).

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

I guess you need to buy the one from Crucial, I bought one non-branded that came from a HP Laptop with the same specs as the OEM but 2 gb and didn't work, good luck!

It Might you need to google your laptop to see what it came with as well as check what your windows on the Laptop will support as well. I used both sticks in my laptop. Now I have 16G Ram. Good Luck

It appears that it IS compatible with your laptop. This kit will put your laptop at the maximum manufacturer's supported amount of RAM

You need a 2GB stick to replace the 1 GB one that comes with the computer. I did this and had no problem except for having to remove about 10 screws.

Honestly ...I don't know ...you'd have to take the one you've got and see ...and if it's the same ...except of 1GB.....as long as it has the same number of Pins and everything ....it should work as long as you update your BIOS .......

I first said I don't know but I would suggest you contact ASUS for a positive Answer, I did use two Memory Sticks for the 8GIOG total.

It's not a stupid question and yes, you guessed it, they are matched for "Dual Channel" functionality. You might get two individual sticks to work in Dual Channel configuration, but you can get instability or memory errors if the sticks are not identical and equally matched. Two sticks of the same memory may have slightly different speeds and other specs which can cause instability and problems. Also, some motherboards may even automatically revert to single-channel mode if they detect mismatched memory.

Check the specifications for your PC - especially the capacity of RAM for that specific motherboard. I suspect it will be 4GB max, much faster than what you have now. If there are four bays, you can try and add the two stick and see what the motherboard will accept at boot-up. Before ordering, be sure your memory sticks match.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

You would be better off getting the Memory Stick Duo Adapter with the USB cord attached if you want it to work in more than one CPU.

I am using two eight gig sticks, but I do know that it is indeed compatible with eight gig sticks as well. It's a great motherboard, by the way. Couldn't be happier.

You can use 2 sticks of 8GB each for a total of 16 GB. If you are using Linux instead of Windows you may need to download new chipset drivers.
