so this model's specs state that the laptop can only get up to 16gb ram...now i'm reading someones review that they've installed up to 32gb ram off this laptop due to the 4 slot capacity...i'm confused now, is it possible or is this person bullshieting???...
computer whiz's let me know...thanks. .. ;) ;) ;)

well according to the specs here:

the laptop should be able to support up to 32gb and it only shows 2 slots from the specs. I am assuming it will accept a max of 16gb per slot.

dang...reviews keep changing...wth?...

forget the reviews, look at your price point, what you must have on the laptop and go from there. For me it's resolutions first, processor, graphic cards next and than brand. Other things could be upgraded. HD to SSD, Add more Ram etc down the road.
-
why would you even need 16 G of RAM? 32 G of RAM is an over kill unless you do scientific computation that loads large data into memory.

spoke with an asus agent and he stated that the specs off that review were incorrect that the highest memory ram for this laptop is only 16 gb...

I think for you 2 G of RaM is more than enough.
-
In my opinion 2 GB ram is really not a lot. 2 GB of ram is really small. Most laptops nowadays, when you buy them they come in 4 GB of rams.
-
Oh wait.. it said that I have 8GB memory, is that small or big? ???
You should be more worried about how much memory you can store inside that head of yours.

go away. PSYCHO! ::) :idiot2:

if upgraded to windows 8...the memory ram's possibility could increase to a huge amount...a whiz told me...however i wouldn't waste my time on doing so... :o :o :o

well on the asus specs it says 16gb as the max but it does have 4 slots...just throw in a 8gb stick as a test, if it recognizes that, then it will surely support up to 32gb on the x64. Most tech you talked to are level 1 so they will just reply with what the specs says. You need to talk to a higher level tech to get a better answer but like you said someone else posted that they got the os to recognize 32gb; so your chances that the mobo will support it is pretty high. If I own that laptop, I will surely shoot for 32gb, the more the merrier for me. Remember to throw in a 512 or 256 ssd and your all set.
didn't know you are a techie diana..good to know.

yes, i'd love to shoot for 32gb...however, windows 7 will not support it...and i like windows 7 vs windows 8...surely windows 8 will support it because of the difference with the os...aiyah...m aybe one day...i guess i'm just going to go with the 16 gb...
thanks for you support jetter... O0 O0 O0

There is nothing you can do that you would need more than 16GB of RAM. Heck, 8GB is good enough. Unless you're doing CAD or Video Editing.

D,
Most, if not all, Laptop have two slots for RAM to keep the size small and utilize interleave technology. 2+2, 4+4, 8+8, 16+16. It's rare to see 16gb slots because those are usually server level performance. I can assure you no scientist will use more than 16gb unless they are doing 3D modeling or crunching very large dataset and if you are using EXCEL, excel will break before you hit the 4gb dataset size... If anything you need a i7 CPU over the RAM if you are doing very large dataset.
thank you...i do have an i7 cpu... O0 O0 O0

D, it's cheaper to buy the ram off Newegg.com then to have them install at factory. If you are still keeping in touch with Toua, he can help you install easy. You can do it yourself too...Remove 2 screws, gently pull the side tabs, and pop the stick 1 and repeat for stick 2, put in your two new sticks and make sure you clear a small click as you seat the new ram, and put the two screws back. Before you start, make sure you ground yourself by touching a metal chair or something and work off a table and no on carpet...stati c will kill your computer.
i know how to put a ram card in...you're too funny...thanks ... O0 O0 O0
