FAQ about Asus X751LD RAM
How much RAM can I add to my X751LD laptop?
You can add up to 8GB in the one accessible slot. The laptop has 4GB soldered on the motherboard that can't be changed, so with an 8GB stick you'll have 12GB total.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM memory - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the bigger desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or DDR5.
What speed RAM should I get?
1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800) is what you want. The laptop might work with other speeds but 1600MHz is the recommended spec.
Why can't I upgrade both memory slots?
One slot has memory permanently soldered to the motherboard - it's basically welded on there. Only one slot has a removable stick you can swap out.
Can I put a 16GB stick in to get more than 12GB total?
No, the accessible slot maxes out at 8GB. Even if you put a bigger stick in, the system will only recognize 8GB of it.
Will any DDR3 laptop memory work?
As long as it's DDR3 SODIMM (the laptop size), it should work. Just stick with 1600MHz speed and 8GB or less capacity to be safe.
