FAQ about Asus X555LB RAM

How much RAM can I put in my X555LB laptop?

Maximum is 8GB. The laptop only has one memory slot, so you'll need to replace whatever's currently installed with a single 8GB stick.

What type of memory does the X555LB use?

It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks. Make sure you get DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5, as they're not compatible.

What speed RAM should I get for the X555LB?

Go with 1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800). The system might accept faster RAM, but it'll just run at 1600MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.

Can I add more RAM without removing the existing one?

No, there's only one slot total. Whatever memory is currently installed needs to come out before putting in the new stick. It's a straight swap.

Is it worth upgrading from 4GB to 8GB?

Generally yes - you'll notice better multitasking, less slowdown with multiple browser tabs, and smoother performance overall. Going from 2GB or 4GB to 8GB makes a real difference in daily use.
