Can you upgrade the ram?

According to the Specs, yes you can. But I didn't do that on this unit. But I will say looking at the unit, I think it will be a bit tricky since the notebook is not like the old ones where the base has several compartments. This unit is made up of unit base, so I am not sure how easy it will be to do so.

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

Yes. Can upgrade to max of 8 G of ram. Computer comes with 6 G of ram, a 2 G and a 4 G stick. You would have to remove to 2 G stick and replace with another 4 G for max of 8 G. I don't know if the upgrade would be worth the money. Works good with the installed 6 G of ram.

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

There is only 1 DIMM slot and the RAM is 4GB, not sure if it is upgradable or not.

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

yes,but you need to add RAM. see my review on the 14th and i recommend avoiding this company.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

I do not believe the ram can be expanded. However Tha ram has not been an issue in my usage

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.

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

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

There is enough horsepower to play games and you can add RAM to it make it run even smoother. Short answere is Yes, you can.

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.

I am not sure if it's possible to upgrade to the latest technology, it has limited slots and physical internal space to add memory, upgrade processor and so on.. I sold this computer already cause it is discontinued but when I asked that question the geeksquad [best buy] estimated around $400 if you provide the parts..

The ram can be updated to 4GB but only if you take it to a service center as the ram is soldered onto the motherboard

Yes you can upgrade the memory. If I were to upgrade mine I would use Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 or CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9. The Acer Aspire V5 471P has 2 slots and a max total memory of 8GB.
