FAQ about Asus K52F RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Asus K52F laptop?

Maximum is 8GB total. The laptop has 2 slots, so you can do 2x4GB sticks. Won't recognize anything higher than 8GB even if you try putting in bigger modules.

What type of RAM does the K52F use?

DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM not regular desktop RAM (DIMM) or it won't physically fit.

What speed RAM should I get for the K52F?

1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600). You can technically install faster RAM like 1600MHz, but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with 1333MHz.

Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?

Yeah, you can do like 4GB + 2GB = 6GB total. Works fine but you'll lose dual-channel performance benefits. For best performance, use matching pairs (like 4GB + 4GB).

Do I need to remove the old RAM first?

Depends what's already in there. If you've got 2x2GB and want 8GB total, then yes, take both out and replace with 2x4GB. If there's only one stick installed, you might be able to just add a second one to the empty slot.
