ANDREA B.,The motherboard can support up to 32GB of memory. Please note that proper installation of memory or any component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

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.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

I've updated my RAM and it was incredibly easy; most online places allow you to look up what memory you will need. I went from the standard 4GB to 10GB (I bought one 8GB stick). There are small screws on the bottom of the laptop (don't lose them!) and then you click out the old memory stick and pop in the new one.I found several videos online that were helpful also!

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.

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

I believe you can. However, there is only one slot of ram and it is occupied with the 4GB dim so you can only replace it with a 8GB dim and that is the most this computer accepts.

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

From what I've read the RAM is soldered to the motherboard so no, you can't.

Yes it is expandable to 32 GB of RAM, but make sure you get the exact same type and speed of memory that is already in it, which in mine is DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800)

I haven't done it yet but see no reason that wouldn't allow you to. I plan to add more ram to the one I own. As for upgrading the OS that shouldn't be any issue either.

No ram door is available.You have to take the machine apart to upgrade RAM.

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.
