Tried upgrading the 2gb stick of ram to 8gb. But did not recognize it. Used a PNY brand is there something Im missing or can I not upgrade it?

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!

Hi Brad, you must use the DDR3 1600L (Low voltage or 1.35v) and not the regular 1.5v ones.Before you upgrade run CPUZ ( a free utility on the net), note the RAM spec and the replacement specs must be the same.RAM brands does not matter, but ensure specs meet the machine requirements. Overclock or high performance ram is a waste of money as notebooks require only standard spec ram.Happy upgrading.

Make sure to use low voltage 1.3v module. I was able to upgrade to 10gb total (installed 8gb module same brand and specs that the one I pulled out)

My suggestion is do a search on your make and model on both the H-P website and Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). I invariably find what I need to know on Tom's site or the manufacturer's. I'm assuming you either have the machine's manual or have downloaded it in PDF format. It should definitely tell you all about your memory and upgrading the same. Hope this helps...

I got error beeps with PNY 1600 - did just fine when slower ram substituted. Just stick with 1333.

No, this is Server Memory. I found out too late and I was beyond the return period. Now stuck with 2 sticks of perfectly good RAM that I cannot use.

All I can say to help is try to reverse the order of the ram there is a one and a two or an a and a b. Ram stick could be bad or not compatible with your specific laptop.

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.

Yes, I upgraded mine with Corsair's Vengeance 8GB kit. The drawback is that your original is to be taken out. You can however get just one 4GB stick and upgrade it, but it is always better to have a matching RAM.

Hi, I also bought a Asus 1005ha-p from zipzoomfly with a 2g corsair 667 mhz memory. After installing it, it shows only 1 gig physical memory as does the original 1gig. Am I reading something wrong? Why doesn't it show up as 2gig? If someone knows the answer I would apprciate it. I wanted to return it to Zipzoomfly but they are giving me a hard time.

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

Hi Robert, "critter number one" gave you the most thorough answer you could probably get. When I bought mine I used Crucial's memory selector to select the Crucial RAM I bought... you can trust its site and the memory selector it employs on the site. That particular 4GB kit included 2- 2 gb 240 pin DDR2 DIMM ELC Unbuffered PC2 RAM to replace some Kingstons that were under-performing. Hope that helps. Dennis

Hi,My RAM has a Hynix sticker with 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 and then there is a bar code below the text. On top of that stickers bar code there is another sticker saying 2GB, DDR2-800 VOID IF REMOVED.The RAM was immideatly by my HP Mini 2140 that said that it detected a new configuration with a 2.08GB RAM and wanted to know if I should save that configuration in the BIOS. So I did and the machine booted up nicely.No problem for me.BR Tomas

Yes, it's a really easy upgrade to 8GB. There's one slot, take 2GB out and put the 8GB stick in.

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

Also is the existing memory soldered in? can it be taken out and replaced with a new memory module? The specs say it supports up to 16GB, has anyone tried it yet?

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.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.
