It says that it has a 32 bit OS but 8gb of ram meaning it would only use 4gb, Is it mis labeled or what?

The listing is incorrect, it will have a 64bit OS and support the full 8GB.

It comes with 2GB, since there is only one memory slot it may be upgraded by replacing the original RAM with a 4GB module and it may be possible to use a 8GB instead.

Yes, the operating system is Windows 8, 64 bit with the 8GB RAM. My machine uses the AMD 10 Vision processor which the Toshiba people tell me is excellent. Windows 8 is experiencing some growing pains which I'm sure will soon be addressed. Overall, I'm happy with this Toshiba machine!

I'm going to say 16GB. It only has 2 RAM slots and 8GB sticks are the largest of what is commonly available. I have occasionally seen a few 16GB sticks, but I wouldn't count on it. So 2 slots @ 8GB = 16GB is my story, and I'm sticking to it.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

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.

Also he says XP does not see 4GB RAM so that shows he does not know that you need a 64-bit OS to see 4GB and with the MSI X58 MB he should use 6GB (3x3GB) minimum for best performance and it could use up to 24GB DDR3 RAM.

Of course, but if you choose Win7 x32 bit, then you will be limited to only being able to use 4gb of the 8gb installed ram. I suggest Win 7 x64 bit to maximize all usable ram.

This motherboard will work fine either way, but if you need more than 4GB RAM you will need a 64-bit OS.

Hey there, Is it an Asus X84H i3? The Stock Spec's for an i3 Version is 4 GB's....however that is apparently the max it can handle or recognise. RAM Recognition is limited by the MOBO Bios & by OSYS Limitations. For example?? XP Pro 32 Bit can only recognise or use 4 GB's (Even though you might have 8 GB's installed) whereas XP Pro 64 Bit is able to see & recognise 8GB's although not any more than that. Windows 7/8/8.1 all can see, recognise AND USE RAM beyond the 8GB's limitation in XP Pro 64 Bit. Is this is a Notebook from Asia (Which I think it might be) there is usually some resident RAM that is soldered onto the MOBO & not removable with 1 slot (only) for additional RAM Memory Chip to be added up to the Max limitation. So as long as the CAS Latency Numbers are the same matching your present RAM Chip, this one should work. Hope this helps! http://www.jumnum2go.com/item.php?iditem=nb024

Robert, The only reason that I can run 8 GB is because of the Chromebook running on Linux. Windows restricts you to 4GB even if you are running 64 bit with the Home edition. I think you need the Professional edition to run more than 4 GB on 64 bit. Huge limitation that will hopefully drive more people to alternative operating systems.

Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit OS? 32 bit OS doesn't use more than 4 GB, some goes to graphics and bios so 3.25 is normal.

My computer has 4GB. I think that the pic is about the software. I beieve that if it says 4GB that's what it is.

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

Hey Kevin, as an owner of this laptop, you should know that 24 GB of ram is absolutely unnecessary. This monster of a machine processes things so fast that it doesn't need very much temporary memory space (aka ram). 8 is plenty with 12 or 16 being the max. Like I said, you don't need to worry about RAM. Also it is the best laptop I have ever owned.

No, from what I read before purchasing, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. It's a great laptop, but honestly, if you NEED 8gigs, you should probably be looking into a different laptop anyway. I can't imagine anything you might use this laptop for anything that would require more ram given that the processor wouldn't really be suited best for those types of computer work.

Hi, good question I didn't have an answer for so I googled it. Lots of answers all saying the same thing. Windows 7 (32-bit) will support up to 4GB but I think it only use 3.3GB of RAM.
