FAQ about Asus X555BA RAM
How many RAM slots does the Asus X555BA have?
It has 2 total slots, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has soldered memory that can't be removed.
What's the maximum RAM I can have in this laptop?
16GB total - that's 8GB in the upgradeable slot plus whatever's soldered in the fixed slot (usually 8GB).
What type of RAM do I need for the X555BA?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's the laptop version (SODIMM), not desktop RAM.
What speed RAM should I get?
2133MHz (also labeled as PC4-17000) is the recommended speed. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2133MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM speeds or brands?
Yes, but the system will run all RAM at the speed of the slowest module. Since you can't change the soldered RAM, everything will match that speed.
Is it worth upgrading if I already have some RAM soldered in?
Depends on your current setup. If you have 4GB soldered and add 8GB, you'll get 12GB total which is decent for most tasks. Going from 8GB to 16GB is nice for heavier multitasking.
