FAQ about Asus X455LD RAM

How much RAM can I put in my X455LD laptop?

Maximum is 8GB. The laptop only has one memory slot, so you'll need to replace whatever's currently installed with a single 8GB stick.

What type of memory does the X455LD use?

It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks. Make sure you get DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5, as they're not compatible.

What speed RAM should I get for the X455LD?

Go with 1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800). The laptop can handle this speed, and it's widely available. Slower speeds will work but why bottleneck yourself.

Can I add more RAM to keep my existing memory?

No, there's only one slot total. Whatever memory is currently installed has to come out to make room for the upgrade. It's a straight swap situation.

Will faster RAM like 1866MHz work?

It'll physically fit and work, but the system will downclock it to 1600MHz anyway. Save your money and stick with 1600MHz modules since you won't see any benefit from faster speeds.
