What is the total amount of RAM it can be upgraded to? Ex. I would like to purchace another 4GB stick and install myself. Will it support this amount?

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.

2 years too late. This laptop actually supports up to 16 GB of ram. Assuming that it is indeed a Dell Inspirion 15 (3521). I have no idea where that RV 10000 name came from. You cannot even find that on Dell's site.

The more sticks in pair, the better it will function. You would want to get 4 sticks of 8gb if you have enough slots. What in the world are you running that needs 32gb of ram? I don't think I've ever used over 8 gb at one time.

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

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 it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

I added 4Gb to bring my total up to 8gb. Don't think it would accommodate 8gb stick.

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

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

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

From what is says in the manual it should be able to use 16, but it would need to be 8 gb on each stick because it only has the normal 2 ram slots

Hey Brad, I recently upgraded my RAM using this stick G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Laptop Memory (F3-1600C9S-8GRSL) ... Worked perfect for me. Haven't experienced any compatibility issues!

You should be able to use one 8gb stick but I have two of these boards and I have had problems using 4gb sticks but i've never used two of them at the same time but I know that it's just a bit more that a coincidence that both brand new sticks of 4gb did not work in either board. So i'm not sure if it will work for you or not. I use two 2gb sticks on both boards.

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

Hello, This is what I found.... System Memory (RAM) Expandable To Nonexpandable Maximum amount of memory a computer can support (as opposed to the amount that comes preinstalled).
