What is the max RAM on this? I know one card seems to be soldered in - is the other card upgradable to 8 GB? (or even, a 1 x 16 GB stick?)

I own the laptop and there is only one slot for a memory card...The max it can handle is one 8gb bringing the total to 12gb. I have done the process on my laptop as well as switch out the 1tb hard drive for a 512gb SSD and this thin beats out most laptops ( and its 2 years old)

Yep its upgradeable to 8gb for a total of 12gb. Samsung says the max is 8gb but thats not really the case. I dont think they make 1x16gb sticks for this model.

8 gb cards are avaialble. Google it. I have a 4 gb in mine and it works fine.

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

there is 24gb of RAM installed upgradeable to 32gb. is there currently an open slot for the additional 8gb or will i have to toss out all 24gb in there and buy 32gb of RAM for the upgrade?

Has anybody tried a single 4GB stick of RAM in this? I'm wondering if it would work.

I don't think they've officially said one way or the other yet. I strongly suspect it'll be possible, because it seems like there are 2 RAM slots available and you should be able to pop in a second 2GB stick if you really want, but you'll probably have to wait until these are officially released to find out how easy or difficult that'll be in practice.

4GB included on a single stick, 2 available slots (micro iTX board, always is that way) and 16GB maximum on 2x 8GB sticks. All DDR3.

The maxiumum RAM that the motherboard can hold is 32GBs. Currently installed is 2x 4GB sticks. There are 4 total slots available with 2 currently in use.

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

The 6GB of ram is comprised of 1x4GB and 1x2GB, and is expandable up to 8GB by replacing the 2GB stick with a 4GB stick. Hope this helps.

just so the record is set straight on the max ram for this system it is 4GB not 2GB, i have 2 systems of this type one with and one without the external gpu. both of which i have upgraded to 4GB (though the system only shows 3.25GB). that being said the the system with the integrated graphics was picky about it's ram sticks. I ended up actually putting one of my older sticks from the other system in it along with one of the new one's I had bought in it, but they both work fine after that.

Jose, someone in one of these forums suggested a 2 gig memory card from a different manufacturer, other that Crucial. I forgot which one it was but, apparently that one was working fine in the Asus. I am now quite happy with the performance of the factory 1 gig so, I do not plan to upgrade.

I believe there are only two slots for ram memory sticks and both are being used by the existing 2 gig of ram each. To get it up to 8 gigs you may need to remove both memory sticks and install 2 new ones of 4 gig each. Basically you are throwing away the existing ram to upgrade to full 8 gigs. As for me, since I only use it as a multimedia server for my bedroom the 4 gigs is very adequate. Good luck.

I first said I don't know but I would suggest you contact ASUS for a positive Answer, I did use two Memory Sticks for the 8GIOG total.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default

This model can support up to 16GB. There are two RAM slots, one is occupied by 1x8GB leaving a second one open for upgrade.
