FAQ about Asus X450LNV RAM

How many RAM slots does the X450LNV have?

Just one slot, so you'll need to replace the existing module rather than adding a second stick

What's the maximum RAM I can install?

8GB is the max - the system won't recognize anything larger even if you install it

What type of RAM do I need?

DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory, not the full-size desktop sticks

What speed RAM should I get?

1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) works best, though slower speeds are compatible

Can I use DDR4 instead?

No, DDR4 won't physically fit - the notch is in a different position and it's not backwards compatible

Is it worth upgrading from 4GB to 8GB?

Definitely helps with multitasking and browser tabs - you'll notice less slowdown when switching between programs

Do I need to match the existing RAM specs exactly?

Since there's only one slot, you're replacing it anyway - just get an 8GB 1600MHz stick and you're good
