Can I upgrade the RAM in this? If so, up to how much?

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.

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)

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

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.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

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.

Buddy, Yes it can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 gb as per the maximum specifications. However, practically I haven't tried. To best of my judgement I think it will support as HP must have done the bench marking or tests with maximum amount of RAM it can squeeze in.

Yes, it can accept up to 8GB total DDR2 RAM. Right now it has 2GB, so you could quadruple the amount.

yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb. You can add another 2gb stick for about $20. Here's a good upgrade: Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

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

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

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