FAQ about Asus X555LJ RAM

How much RAM can I put in the Asus X555LJ laptop?

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

What type of memory does the X555LJ use?

It uses DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized RAM sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5.

What speed RAM should I get for the X555LJ?

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

Can I add a second RAM stick to the X555LJ?

Nope, there's only one slot total. Whatever RAM is in there now has to come out to make room for the upgrade.

Is upgrading from 4GB to 8GB worth it on this laptop?

Usually yes - going from 4GB to 8GB makes a noticeable difference for multitasking, having lots of browser tabs open, and general smoothness. Just don't expect miracles if the laptop is struggling with other hardware limitations.
