FAQ about Asus U47A RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Asus U47A laptop?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max. Can't go higher even if you find bigger modules - the system won't recognize anything over 8GB.
What type of RAM does the U47A use?
DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM not regular DIMM (desktop size). DDR4 won't work either, has to be DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get for the U47A?
1600MHz (also labeled PC3-12800) is recommended. You can use slower 1333MHz if that's what you have, but 1600MHz will give you the best performance this laptop can handle.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Yeah, you can do like 2GB + 4GB if you want. But matching sizes (4GB + 4GB) usually runs better since it enables dual-channel mode. Still works with mismatched sizes though.
Do I need to match the RAM that's already installed?
Not required but it's a good idea to match speed and timings if possible. If you can't match exactly, the system will run all RAM at the speed of the slowest stick.
