Can the RAM be upgraded to 2x8GB? Also, do you have one of thee with Windows 7 installed on it?

As long as your on 64 bit you'll get up to 16GB of memory. It will max at 1600Mhz.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Of course, but if you choose Win7 x32 bit, then you will be limited to only being able to use 4gb of the 8gb installed ram. I suggest Win 7 x64 bit to maximize all usable ram.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

When I check the system file in the control panel all it says is Windows 8. The computer works great but windows 8 was really meant for a touch screen. The secret I realized that you could add a second hard drive (2.5" SATA ,SSD etc. ). And the ram could be increase up to 24-32 GB!

Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

Ram can be upgraded to 2 gig max. Takes 2 GB - SO DIMM 200-pin - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400. Found here: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB Kit (2X1GB) 800MHZ DDR2 SODIMM Notebook Memory

I believe you can. However, there is only one slot of ram and it is occupied with the 4GB dim so you can only replace it with a 8GB dim and that is the most this computer accepts.

32GB assuming that you have windows 7 pro. Basic limits you on ram available.

yes, a ram upgrade is feasible up to 8 gb. You can add another 2gb stick for about $20. Here's a good upgrade: Crucial 2GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Notebook Memory Module CT25664BF160B

I have replaced my one gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick of ram. Hope that helps.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb 1600Mhz

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

Yes you will need to replace the memory installed to upgrade to higher memory. Be sure it is compatible!! Once done go to setup let it recognize the new memory and boot to windows.
