When you upgraded the ram without the boot booster how long did it take to start up? I'm pretty sure i installed the ram right but it doesnt seem to be booting up.

To my knowledge, 904ha only comes with one RAM socket. It comes loaded with one 1-gb PC2-5300 ram. You need to replace it with one 2-gb PC2-5300 or PC2-5400 (no difference between the two). Some suggest it can be upgraded with PC2-6400, but as I noted above, I tried it (I had one available) and the XP wouldn't recognize it beyond 1gb.

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

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

I've upgraded mine to 2 gb (my 904ha shows 1.99g). It was done by 1) disabling the "boot booster" at bios setup, and then 2) changing the ram at the back (two screws, that's it). Of course, afterwards, you've got to go back to bios setup and enable "boot booster."As I've written about in my review, I couldn't get my OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 to work. but my OCZ DDR2 PC2-5400 worked fine. The original ram is PC2-5300, so perhaps PC2-6400 will not work. I don't know if that's true.

I upgraded with 2MB of 200 pin DDR2 - 667 MHz PC5300 with no problem. The brand was Corsair but I also understand Kingston works well also. I bought it at Fry's Electronics for $28.99 with a $10.00 mail-in rebate making it $18.99.

When you upgraded, did you use 1-2gb stick or 2-1gb sticks?Does the 904ha come with 2-512's, or 1-1gb?Can anyone also recommend a particular model/brand of RAM to buy along with the laptop. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

According to other answers, It will support up to 8GB of RAM; however, I'm not sure how it's presently configured. My guess would be 2-2GB sticks, in which case you might need to replace them both if you want to go the max.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

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

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

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

Sorry for not having the answer. I haven't added more RAM, but I need to do it. I will check it soon and I will let you know.

Not sure but I highly recommend this laptop. It's upgradable to 32 g of RAM. It's runned nice and smoothly since I bought it.

Hello, The maximum ram memory can extend up to 16 GB as per Intel Core i7-4500U Processor. Thank You, Krish/DEC Trader

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

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 easy You will need to get unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 204-pin SO-DIMMs

It comes with 8 GB of RAM. Not sure if you can upgrade it but for me 8 was enough. I hope that helps.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

This particular model is capable of 16GB maximum across 2 ram slots. The current configuration is 8GB in a 2 x 4GB configuration.

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

It can take 8GB total..4GB per slot...Must Use a 64-bit operating system to see the full 8GB of ram.. Be sure you have a compatible CPU..it only takes 65 watt processors...Good Luck!!

Hi, this comes with 2 slots filled with a 2GB stick in each. It says max 4GB because that's all we tested/certified it for; however it should be able to run with 8gb without issue. Though two 4GB sticks of RAM will definitely set you back a few dollars.
