FAQ about Asus X53U RAM
how many ram slots does this laptop have
it has 2 memory slots total
what's the maximum ram i can install
you can go up to 8GB total - that's the max this system supports
what type of ram do i need to buy
you need DDR3 SDRAM in the SODIMM form factor - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones
what speed ram should i get
1333MHz is recommended, also labeled as PC3-10600 on some memory sticks
can i mix different ram speeds
technically yes but everything will run at the slower speed, so best to match them at 1333MHz
should i get one 8gb stick or two 4gb sticks
two 4GB sticks would give you dual channel which is slightly faster, but one 8GB works fine if that's what you have
will faster ram like 1600mhz work
it'll probably work but will downclock to 1333MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds
