FAQ about Asus UL30VT RAM
How much RAM can I put in my UL30VT laptop?
Maximum is 4GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you could do 2x2GB sticks or keep one original stick and add another.
What type of RAM do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or anything else.
What speed RAM should I get?
1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600) is the recommended speed. You might find faster RAM on sale, but the laptop will just run it at 1333MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for speed you won't use.
Can I mix different RAM sizes or brands?
Technically yes, but it's better to match them if possible. If you mix a 1GB and 2GB stick, they'll work but you might lose dual-channel performance benefits. Same brand/speed/size is ideal.
Do I need to remove the battery before upgrading?
Yes, always remove the battery and unplug the power adapter before opening up the laptop. Hold the power button for a few seconds after to discharge any remaining power.
Where are the RAM slots located?
Usually under a small panel on the bottom of the laptop. Look for a cover with one or two screws - it's typically separate from the main bottom panel. Sometimes one slot might be under the keyboard.
