Some models have their RAM soldered on, but some of them have SO-DIMM RAM (upgradable), can someone please confirm the case for the DB51 model?

This model uses the proprietary RAM, soldered on the motherboard. It's designed (by the manufacturer) not to be upgradable "at home". If you find a way to overcome this, pls report it here

Yes, unfortunately the RAM is soldered on due to physical restraints. A module would have needed more space (according to Asus). My computer has performed well so far so I can't complain.

I believe the RAM is soldered on, but I also agree with previous comment--horrible build quality.

Unfortunately, I can't answer that specific question but I can tell you that this model is one of the most unreliable computers out there. I've had to send mine back for repairs 6 times in 15 months: 3 times for keyboard malfunction and 3 times for battery-failure/heat issues.

DB52 variant only ships with a 128GB SSD. The difference between the DB52 and DB51 is the fact that DB52 ships with a TPM - great for enterprise laptop users but really unnecessary for every day users. There is a chart out there that we can use for reference but it's hosted on another e-tailer website. Think of King Arthur's sword+PC...dot com.EDIT: DB52 also comes with Windows 7 Professional

2gb models are all soldered.. Early 4gb models soldered.. Mid and late 4gb are socket mounted.. All 8gb models are socket mounted

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.

The model I have listed under ttNB has 16GB of RAM. Check the descriptions well. Amazon did not have the exact model of my configuration. Everything is identical except for added extras, including the RAM.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

No, this memory will only work in Servers or Mac Pros. There may be a few other types of boards that will fit it, but those boards MUST support FBDIMM. If your motherboard does not spec Fully Buffered DIMMs, then it will not fit.

this info means nothing regarding memory modules.It's a good question for HP though.

You would have to consult the manual for your specific laptop to see what memory modules are compatible. Some have 1 slot, some have 2, some require matching modules in the 2 slots, others don't care, some are DDR2, some are DDR3, some older ones need a SIMM, others take DIMM, some have a max memory size per slot, etc........After running a Google search for this model's memory I found "The Toshiba Detailed Spec Sheet for the C55D-B5212 states that the laptop comes with 4GB DDR3L 1600MHz [DRAM], not user upgradable" so I would think this would not work.

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 Went back to my amazon order of this ram I bought and it's only recommended for dell latitude d510x1/d610/d810. Phillip

There are two memory slots which can take 2@4BG or 2@8GB. It comes with one slot taken at 4GB. I added a second so now have 8BG. It was easyYou will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

I don't know. As I stated, I found that In my case the databases for Crucial and another supplier were wrong. My suggestion is to remove the ram from your computer and see what it is and notice where the notch is on the connector side of the chip. Then look for replacement using that data. I am not a tech so don't rely on me to be accurate. I am simply relaying my experience and what worked for me. Google your computer and see what people are saying about it but you should still check by looking. It is not difficult to remove ram if you have any mechanical/tech experience. I just removed the screws from the bottom of my laptop and found the ram slots. I touched the ground part of the USB connector and popped the ram loose. Actually you may be able to read the ram ID if it is facing up and you can see the location of the chip notch without removing the ram at all. If you are clueless then find someone who is able to help out.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.
