If I were to upgrade the RAM on this PC, do I need 2 x 4 GB kits to max the RAM capacity or 1 x 4 GB kit? I want to buy the PC and the RAM same time.

1 4GB kit would max the ram capacity in theory, but you can add a 8GB and make the system 12GB. I have seen this work and Windows recognizes this with no problem. Apparently the empty slot can accommodate max 8GB. The system has one empty slot.

This pc has 4 slots for memory cards (pc2 - 6400, DDR2), so with 4 OF 4GB memory sticks each, it could be upgraded to 16gb.Thanks

It supports up to 16 GB. There are 2 RAM slots. Each slot can take 8Gb. The PC comes with 4Gb. I personally added 4Gb to the other slot for a total of 8Gb and it works fine for what I do.

Yes, we did add extra ram...note the total memory cannot exceed 4megs . Hope this helps!

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

Dear customer,1. The amount of installing RAM have to be min. 4 GB if the OS is Windows 7 or 8. Better is 6 or 8 GB RAM, but it depend from the Mother Board.2. If the PC is old there is dust inside. You have to clean the contact points before adding the new RAM. Practically, the handy way is to plug in and remove several times the RAM in the socket places. I hope then the PC will start normaly! Success!

I maxed out the memory on my machine to 16GB. In your case, I think you will have to pair the RAM up. Two 4GB sticks on slots 1 and 3, and then two 2GB sticks on slots 2 and 4. (Or it may be the other way around.) I would just make sure that the speed of the RAM are identical. In other words, the originals are 1600MHz RAM, the additional ones should also be that too.

If you are interested in upgrading the RAM (always a good idea), why are you even considering this PC? In terms of it's upgrade potential, this PC is a white elephant.

Hello, We are the manufacturer of this computer and would be glad to assist with your questions! The computer does not have the ability to add a second hard drive to it due to the form factor being so tight. The maximum RAM that can be installed is 32GB on 4x 8GB sticks. There are slots currently available, however any expansion slots such as a video card will require a low profile bracket.

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.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

Ram can be upgraded to 2 gig max. Takes 2 GB - SO DIMM 200-pin - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400. Found here: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB Kit (2X1GB) 800MHZ DDR2 SODIMM Notebook Memory

Unfortunately no. Your motherboard is rated at a maximum of only 2GB. You could try, but chances are your computer will not start or you'll be wasting 2 out of 4GB of memory. You CAN upgrade from the 1GB to 2GB that everyone has been doing, though, but be warned: The process on your particular model is a rather tricky one. It involves removing the back panel, your keyboard, and screws on the bottom and underneath the keyboard. You can find tutorials on how to do it, but I just want you to be fore-warned.

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.

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

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck
