FAQ about Asus U47VC RAM
Can I add more memory to my U47VC laptop?
Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. It has 2 memory slots and supports up to 8GB total. The laptop uses standard notebook memory (SODIMM), so upgrades are pretty straightforward.
What type of RAM do I need for the U47VC?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules. Make sure to get 1600MHz speed (also called PC3-12800) for best performance. Don't get regular desktop RAM - it won't fit.
How much RAM can I install?
Maximum is 8GB total. Since there are 2 slots, you can either do 2x4GB sticks or keep one existing stick and add another. Can't go beyond 8GB even if you find bigger modules.
Do I need to match RAM speeds?
While 1600MHz is recommended, the system will work with slower DDR3 like 1333MHz. If you mix speeds, everything runs at the slower speed. Best to match them.
Can I use just one RAM stick?
Yes, single channel mode works fine with one stick. You'll get slightly better performance with two matched sticks (dual channel), but one stick is perfectly usable.
