Can I Add More Memory To This Computer? I want to add 1 more GB of RAM to this computer. Can I do it?

I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

You can use XP even after Microsoft stops supporting it.But if you don't want to use an unsupported operating system, have you looked toward any of the various GNU/Linux distributions? If you are just doing web and document management, there is no need for Microsoft products.

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Does anyone worry about buying netbooks and this computer and Microsoft ending support for XP like they eventually did for Windows 98 ? I would want 2GB of RAM if I ever had to install Vista...

You can add more memory, but there are only 2 hard drive slots. You'll just be able to upgrade to higher capacity hard drives, but can't add more.

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

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.

Ram can be increased. But one does not need more than 8GB. Anything over that is just overkill.Hard drive can be increased but I would have a pro do it. I am more familiar with a desktop. Much easier to change out.

Unfortunately you can not add memory. I've had no problems with mine running slow and I've never got a warning. Sounds like you may have a Virus or something running in the back.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

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

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

If you want to add any additional gb of memory, you can buy a any DDR3 SDRAM SO DIMM 204-pin Speed 1600 MHz ( PC3-12800 ) (for best performance). But remember you only have 2 slots available for easy access, so if you want to have 16gb in total you'll have to buy a 16 gb dual channel memory(8 gb in each slot), because you already have one 8gb dual channel memory (4gb in each slot). Now if you are willing to disassemble your laptop (at you own risk) you have 2 additional slots below the keyboard. Here is a video demonstrating how to do it www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=MP4myeDK-3U

I was wondering the same thing . . . and can you just add a 1GB chip in that additional slot?? We have one arriving today -- so I'll check out the documentation.

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..

Karen, you cannot add memory. You buy it as it is with 32 GB. Upgrade not possible, sorry.

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.
