FAQ about Asus X555DG RAM
How many RAM slots does my laptop have?
There are 2 slots total, but only 1 is accessible for upgrades. The other slot has 4GB soldered directly to the motherboard.
What's the maximum RAM I can have?
12GB total - that's 4GB built-in plus up to 8GB in the upgradeable slot.
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
DDR3 SODIMM (the smaller laptop-sized modules). Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR3L or DDR4 - they won't work.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800). You can use faster RAM but it'll just run at 1600MHz anyway.
Can I add a second 8GB stick for 16GB total?
No, you're stuck with the 4GB that's permanently attached. You can only upgrade the one free slot.
Will any laptop RAM work?
As long as it's DDR3 SODIMM, it should work. Just avoid desktop RAM (DIMM) - it's physically too big to fit.
