FAQ about Asus X53TA RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Asus X53TA?
The maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max.
What type of memory does the X53TA use?
It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones.
What speed RAM should I get for the X53TA?
Go with 1333MHz (PC3-10600). That's what the laptop is designed to run at optimal speed.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Yeah, you can do like 2GB + 4GB if you want. Just make sure both sticks are DDR3 SODIMM at 1333MHz for best results.
Will faster RAM like 1600MHz work in the X53TA?
It'll probably work but will just run at 1333MHz anyway. The laptop will downclock it to match what it supports, so you're basically paying extra for nothing.
Do I need to upgrade both RAM slots at once?
Nope, you can upgrade one at a time. If you've already got 4GB (2x2GB), you could just replace one stick with a 4GB to get 6GB total.
