FAQ about Asus VivoBook X505BP RAM
How much RAM can I put in my VivoBook X505BP?
You can go up to 16GB total. The laptop has 2 slots, so that's either two 8GB sticks or one 16GB stick if you're keeping one slot empty.
What type of RAM does the X505BP use?
It uses DDR4 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get SODIMM, not regular DIMM.
What speed RAM should I get for the VivoBook X505BP?
2400MHz is what's recommended. You might see it listed as PC4-19200 - same thing, just different naming. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2400MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in my X505BP?
Yeah, you can mix sizes like 4GB + 8GB, but it's better to match them if possible. Matching sizes lets them run in dual-channel mode which is a bit faster.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends what you've got. If there's already 2 sticks installed, you'll need to remove at least one. If there's just one stick, you can add a second one to the empty slot.
