FAQ about Asus U43Jc RAM
How much RAM can I put in my U43Jc laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you could do 2x2GB sticks or leave one slot empty with a single 4GB stick (though the system won't use all of it).
What type of memory do I need for the U43Jc?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory, not the full-size desktop sticks. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR3L or DDR4.
What speed RAM should I get?
1066MHz (also labeled as PC3-8500) is what's recommended. You can install faster RAM like 1333MHz or 1600MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with 1066MHz.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or speeds?
Technically yes, but it's not ideal. If you mix speeds, everything runs at the slower speed. If you mix sizes (like 1GB + 2GB), you lose dual-channel performance benefits. Best to match them if possible.
Is 4GB really the absolute maximum?
Yes, it's a hardware limitation of the motherboard/chipset. Even if you somehow got 8GB sticks to physically fit, the system wouldn't recognize more than 4GB total.
