FAQ about Asus X55U RAM

How many RAM slots does the Asus X55U have?

Just one slot total, so you can't add a second stick - you'll need to replace whatever's already in there

What's the maximum RAM I can install?

4GB is the max this laptop will recognize, even if you try putting in an 8GB stick

What type of RAM do I need?

DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory, not the full-size desktop sticks

What speed RAM should I get?

1333MHz (also called PC3-10600) is what works best with this system

You can install it but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with 1333MHz
