Task manager tells me that its only using 2 of 4 slots, which indicates that we can add our ram; this is inconsistent with other reviews. Any help?

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.

48GB RAM = 4GB x 12 Slot. The problem is, it might only run dual channel if you use a lot of RAM.

There are 4 RAM slots and the boards max is 16 GB. I bought the computer and added 2 4GB sticks of RAM immediately with no issue making it have 16 GB.

As far as I remember there are four slots. Two on the front of the mobo and two on the back. I know for sure that I have 4x8GB RAM

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

I am not 100% positive, but I Believe the max is 16GB (I have also seen conflicting reports between 8 and 16) but most places agree there are only 2 slots (so 2 8GB chips for a max of 16). I only saw 2 when I opened it up to add my additional RAM.

Just so people know. You have to specifically enable 1600 RAM speeds within the BIOS. Or else it will default to 1333.

HI, I checked my manual and it says that you may install 4 gigs in each slot. 8 gigs total.Dan

4 slots. if you want to upgrade the ram, you need 2 of the chips to be low profile, otherwise all 4 wont fit under the HD enclosure. Imunning 16GB and it is very sweet.

I was looking at this model at Microcenter today and I assume it has the same specs. It has 4 memory slots and 2 are taken with 2 4gb sticks, so you should be able to add two more to give a total of 16gb.

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

That combination is NOT listed in the manual as officially supported. This is the only 8GB supported RAM listed, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233271

It will depend on how many slots your machine has available for RAM. Look in your machine to see if you have an empty slot. If you do, then you can just put more RAM in the empty slot. If all of the slots are taken, you will want to replace one of the smaller sticks of RAM with a larger one.

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..

32GB is the max. But I haven't open up the cpu because of warranty. It is a pretty small cpu, if there is any slot open at all, would be two. Due to latecy may vary between different DDR'S, I would replace instead of adding.

Yes! You should have 4 slots for DDR3 memory. Just pull the two current and replace with these. Depending on what you are coming from, should be a nice improvement.
