FAQ about Asus X71Sr RAM
How much RAM can I put in an Asus X71Sr?
Maximum is 4GB total. The laptop has 2 memory slots, so you can install two 2GB sticks to reach the max.
What type of memory does the X71Sr use?
It uses DDR2 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones.
What speed RAM should I get for the X71Sr?
667MHz (also labeled as PC2-5300) is the recommended speed. You might find 800MHz DDR2 cheaper these days, and it'll work fine - it'll just run at 667MHz.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Yeah, you can mix sizes like 1GB + 2GB if needed. Just remember the total can't exceed 4GB. For best performance though, matching pairs (like 2GB + 2GB) work better.
Will faster DDR2 memory work in my X71Sr?
Yes, faster DDR2 like 800MHz will work, but it'll automatically slow down to match the 667MHz speed the system supports. No harm done, just no speed benefit.
Can I use DDR3 memory instead of DDR2?
No, DDR3 won't fit - it's physically different and incompatible. You need DDR2 SODIMM specifically.
