FAQ about Asus K70IJ RAM
How much RAM can I put in my K70IJ laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 2GB per slot max. The system won't recognize anything higher even if you try to install it.
What type of memory does the K70IJ use?
It uses DDR2 SDRAM in SODIMM form factor - that's the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get DDR2, not DDR3 or DDR4, they're not compatible.
What speed RAM should I get for the K70IJ?
800MHz (also labeled as PC2-6400) is the recommended speed. You might find slower speeds like 667MHz that could work, but 800MHz is what the system is designed for.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Technically yes, like 1GB + 2GB, but it's better to match them if possible. Matched pairs (like 2GB + 2GB) generally run more stable and might give slightly better performance.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends what's already installed. If you've got 2x1GB and want 4GB total, yes you'll need to replace both with 2x2GB sticks. Check what's in there first before ordering new memory.
