FAQ about Asus U32U RAM
How much RAM can I put in my U32U laptop?
You can install up to 8GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you could do 2x4GB sticks or leave one slot empty with a single 8GB stick.
What type of memory do I need for the U32U?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - these are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure they're DDR3, not DDR3L or DDR4.
What speed RAM should I get?
1066MHz (also labeled as PC3-8500) is the recommended speed. You can technically install faster RAM like 1333MHz or 1600MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or do they need to match?
You can mix sizes (like 2GB + 4GB), but for best performance, matching pairs work better. The system runs in dual-channel mode with matched sticks, which gives a small speed boost.
Do I need to remove the old RAM or can I just add more?
Depends what's already installed. If you have 2x2GB and want 8GB total, you'll need to remove at least one stick since you only have 2 slots. Check what's in there first before ordering.
