FAQ about Asus U82U RAM
How much RAM can I put in my U82U 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 does the U82U use?
It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - those are the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure you get DDR3 and not DDR4 or DDR5, as they won't fit or work.
What speed RAM should I buy for the U82U?
Get 1333MHz RAM (also labeled as PC3-10600). The system might accept faster RAM like 1600MHz, but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the U82U?
Yes, you can mix sizes like 2GB + 4GB to get 6GB total. For best performance though, matching pairs (like 4GB + 4GB) work better since they can run in dual-channel mode.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends on what's already installed. If you have 2x2GB and want 8GB total, you'll need to remove both and replace with new sticks. Check what's currently in there first before ordering.
