Has anyone managed to upgrade the RAM the ASUS X501a-who1? I just tried both a 4GB SODIMM from Kingston and an 8GB SODIMM from crucial and no go.

Has anybody tried a single 4GB stick of RAM in this? I'm wondering if it would work.

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.

Mine came with one 4GB stick of Samsung RAM. I did some research and found Crucial CT51272BD160B was compatible. I picked up 8GB (2x4GB sticks) off of an eBay seller for $60, and it's been working great with the Samsung and the Crucial together.** Edited - I originally said I found Kingston TSB16D3LS1KBG/4G, which is incorrect. **

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

I bought 8GB a month or so ago and the RAM has been great -- no problems. It says Samsung on the sticks.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Unfortunately, we don't know. The ASUS website is unclear as to the maximum RAM supported by the BIOS. Beyond that, we also need to remember that the laptop comes with the 32-bit Windows XP, supporting a max of 4GB of RAM, and only showing 3.5 (32-bit architecture limitation).

I upgraded with no issues. I used this Kingston Value RAM from home depot, and it works great in my Gateway (I have the LT2032u - same as the LT2030u, but in Black).http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/469115/Kingston-KVR667D2-2GR-DDR2-Memory-Upgrade/However, the price is a bit high at the moment. I only paid $32 on sale, and it's back up to the regular price of $49.

My computer works fine with the original 1gb ram chip so I am wondering if it was the 2gb chip I installed that caused the problem. I originally bought the crucial 800ghz module rather than the 667 as I had read that it would not cause any problems even if the computer could not fully use the 800. The Asus website does not even list this computer, let alone the memory recommendation so I am at a loss. I returned the 800 to Amazon but hate to replace it with the 667 in case that is not the correct memory either. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

Aloha Scott, I've had my Asus AiO P1801 for about one month now and it has 8gb of ram. Not sure if there are models of the P1801 but the one I have came with 8gb.

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.
