FAQ about Asus F82Q RAM
How much RAM can I put in my F82Q laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's 2GB per slot max.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR2 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or anything newer.
What speed RAM should I get?
800MHz (also labeled as PC2-6400) is what you want. The system might accept other speeds but 800MHz is the recommended spec.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 1GB + 2GB if you want. Just remember the total can't exceed 4GB. Both sticks should ideally be the same speed though.
Do I need to buy RAM in pairs?
Not required, but matching pairs (same size, speed, and brand) usually work better together. Single sticks work fine too if you're just adding to what's already there.
Will faster RAM work if I can only find PC2-8500?
It should work but will just run at the slower 800MHz speed anyway. No point paying extra for faster RAM that won't actually run faster in this system.
