FAQ about Asus X552LD RAM

How much RAM can I add to my X552LD laptop?

You can add up to 4GB in the single user-accessible slot. The laptop maxes out at 8GB total, but some memory is soldered on and can't be changed.

What type of memory do I need for this laptop?

You need DDR2 SODIMM memory - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or DDR4.

What speed RAM should I get?

Go with 800MHz (also labeled as PC2-6400). The system won't benefit from faster memory even if you install it.

How many memory slots are there?

Just one slot that you can access. If there's already a stick in there, you'll need to remove it and replace it with a larger one - you can't add a second stick.

Is it worth upgrading from 4GB to 8GB total?

Depends what you're doing. For basic web browsing and office work, 4GB might be enough. For multitasking, photo editing, or keeping lots of browser tabs open, 8GB will make things noticeably smoother.
