I think so. I see 16gb RAM cards for sale on Amazon. 16gb (2x8gb) Dimm Memory RAM Compatible with Dell XPS 8700 Desktop / Special ... But I'm using the 8gb setup that came with my system.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

You can install a maximum of 16GB RAM memory. The mother board has 2 slots.

Matthew Smith, Yes you can. The maximum memory capacity for the system is 16GB. Please note that the proper installation of memory or any other component that does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

It appears that you can. I can't remember if there are 2 slots or just 1 for the RAM, but on some how-to videos I found on similar x51 models, you can upgrade to 16 gb.

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

Yes ma'am according to Asus site you can use this ram 2 GB Up to 16 GB Dual Channel, DDR3 at 1333MHz 4 x DIMM. So I made the jump from 4 gb of ram to 16. Some may say it is over kill but I have no bottleneck in the memory flow.

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

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

Buddy, Yes it can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 gb as per the maximum specifications. However, practically I haven't tried. To best of my judgement I think it will support as HP must have done the bench marking or tests with maximum amount of RAM it can squeeze in.

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

You can definitely upgrade it to 16GB.There are two pairs of ram card slots.one pair of slots is easy to get to and the other...Not so much, If you are confident in your computer dis-assembly and reassembly skillsthan you should be fine (But I believe it might void the warranty if you take your computer apart that much) Upgrading to 32GB which would be 4 X 8GB cards in the laptop.So to recap,It maxes at 32GB it's just hard to get to the last 2 slots.

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)
