FAQ about Asus F5RL RAM
How much RAM can I put in my F5RL laptop?
Maximum is 2GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you can do 2x1GB sticks or keep one original stick and add another.
What type of memory does the F5RL use?
It uses DDR2 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure you get DDR2, not DDR3 or DDR4, as they won't fit or work.
What speed RAM should I get for the F5RL?
667MHz (also labeled as PC2-5300) is the recommended speed. You might find 800MHz sticks work too, but they'll just run at 667MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster memory.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the F5RL?
Yes, you can mix sizes like 512MB + 1GB, but for best performance try to match the sizes. Mixing speeds is okay too - the system will run both at the slower speed.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends on what's already installed. If you have 2x512MB and want 2GB total, you'll need to remove at least one stick to make room for a 1GB module. Check what's in there first.
