FAQ about Asus K54HR RAM

How many RAM slots does the Asus K54HR have?

Just one slot unfortunately. Single slot design means you can't add a second stick - you'll need to replace the existing RAM if you want to upgrade.

What's the maximum RAM I can install?

8GB is the limit. Even if you find a 16GB stick, the system won't recognize more than 8GB.

What type of RAM do I need?

DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory modules. Don't accidentally buy desktop RAM (DIMM) as it won't physically fit.

What speed RAM should I get?

1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600) is recommended. You might find 1600MHz sticks work, but they'll run at 1333MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with 1333MHz.

Will DDR4 RAM work?

No, DDR4 isn't compatible. The slot is designed for DDR3 only - they have different pin counts and voltages.

Can I mix different RAM brands?

Since there's only one slot, you're not mixing anything. Just make sure whatever single stick you buy meets the DDR3 1333MHz specs.
