FAQ about Asus U37VC RAM
How much RAM can I put in my U37VC laptop?
Maximum is 8GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you can do either 2x4GB sticks or keep one original stick and add another if you want.
What type of memory do I need for the U37VC?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-sized RAM, not the bigger desktop sticks. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR3L or DDR4, as those won't work.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) is the recommended speed. You could technically use slower 1333MHz RAM and it'll work, but you might as well get 1600MHz since that's what the system is designed for.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or speeds?
Yeah, you can mix them but it's not ideal. If you use different speeds, everything will run at the slower speed. Different sizes work fine (like 2GB + 4GB = 6GB total), but matching pairs give better performance.
Do I need to upgrade both sticks at once?
Nope, you can upgrade just one slot if you want. Most of these laptops came with 4GB in one slot, so adding another 4GB stick in the empty slot is the easiest upgrade path.
