FAQ about Asus FX505GT RAM

How many RAM slots does the FX505GT have

It has 2 memory slots total. Pretty standard for gaming laptops - gives you flexibility to upgrade later or run dual channel from the start.

What's the maximum RAM I can install

You can go up to 32GB total. That's 16GB per slot if you max it out. Honestly more than enough for gaming and most creative work.

What type of RAM do I need to buy

You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM not regular DIMM - those are the smaller laptop memory sticks. DDR3 won't work either, has to be DDR4.

What speed RAM should I get

2666MHz is the recommended speed. Sometimes listed as PC4-21300 on the packaging. You can technically install faster RAM but it'll just run at 2666MHz anyway.

Can I mix different RAM sizes

Yeah you can mix sizes like 8GB + 16GB, but it's better to match them if possible. Matched pairs run in dual channel mode which gives better performance.

Will faster RAM like 3200MHz work

It'll work but will downclock to 2666MHz automatically. No point spending extra on faster speeds since the laptop won't use them.
