FAQ about Asus K75VD RAM
How much RAM can I put in my K75VD laptop?
You can install up to 16GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you could do 2x8GB sticks or keep one original stick and add another.
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5 which won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) is the recommended speed. You can technically use slower 1333MHz RAM if you already have it, but 1600MHz will give you the best performance.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or speeds?
Yes, but it's not ideal. If you mix different sizes like 4GB + 8GB, it'll work but you'll lose dual-channel benefits. Mixing speeds means everything runs at the slower speed. Best to match them if possible.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends on what's already installed. If you have 2x4GB and want 16GB total, you'll need to remove both and install 2x8GB. If you have just one 4GB stick, you could add an 8GB stick to get 12GB total.
