FAQ about Asus F81Se RAM
How much RAM can I put in my F81Se laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. The laptop has 2 slots, so you can do 2x2GB sticks. That's the ceiling - won't recognize anything more than 4GB even if you try bigger modules.
What type of memory does the F81Se take?
DDR2 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory, not the full-size desktop sticks. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or DDR4 which won't fit or work.
What speed RAM should I get for the F81Se?
667MHz (also labeled as PC2-5300) is the recommended speed. You might find 800MHz DDR2 for sale but the laptop will just run it at 667MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster RAM.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the F81Se?
Technically yes, like 1GB + 2GB, but it's better to match them - either 1GB + 1GB or 2GB + 2GB. Matched pairs can run in dual channel mode which gives slightly better performance.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends what's already in there. If it came with 2x1GB and you want 4GB total, then yes, remove both and install 2x2GB. If it only has one stick, you might be able to just add a second one.
