Is the ram upgradable and if so to what? It says it has 4, is ther ean empty slot, 2 2's or what

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.

There are two slots only. Mine is filled with 2. 2gig chips. You have to order 2 4gig chips to max out ram

beats the hell out of me. I don't recommend this computer if it has windows 8. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS.

Sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but I will tell you that the Windows 8 OS, without touchscreen capability, makes for a very problematic typing experience...I have to hit Fn and F7 to turn off the touchpad or all hell breaks lose when you try to type.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

I am 95% sure I looked it up and it said 4GB max. I got 3 in mine and works great. Remember the processor is a Pentium 4 which in a sense does not know anything in the consideration of high RAM

It has 4 slots so you should be good. I'm running 2x4gb of 1866. It runs at 1600 but I'm told I can change that in the bios easily.

4 slots. if you want to upgrade the ram, you need 2 of the chips to be low profile, otherwise all 4 wont fit under the HD enclosure. Imunning 16GB and it is very sweet.

Yes, there are 2 RAM slots inside. Which would require you to buy 2 "8 GIG RAM cards."

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

I see that same thing in my task manager. I'm not sure, I do know for sure that this motherboard has custom soldered on 4gb of RAM in dual channel configuration and zero sodimm slots period. So, you can not upgrade. It is likely the processor and chipset are able to support another slot, if there were one. Asus has clearly really customized this machine to cram everything in here.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

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

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

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.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

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.

Original ram on this model 2x2GB total 4GB Order 2x4GB total 8GB on amazon for upgrade

I just read on Google,Asus saying that upgrading to2GB will Not void the warranty.I have the 2GB module will install,not really sure I need it.Oh well,you can never be too rich,thin or have enough memory.Follow up;Installed 2MB memory,one caveat,You must enter the BIOS to get it to recognize the 2MB,if you don't it will see your 2MB as 1 MB
