Laptop : ASUS X455L What does expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM mean?

Right now, I have my laptop ASUSX 455L, under the memory section it says…

DDR3L 1600 MHz SDRAM, 1 x DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM

The laptop already came with 4GBs of RAM. And I’m guessing you can expand it because i saw youtube video that a guy jut slided a ram chip in the slot.

For the softwares that i run, adding windows update (which i tried to disable for a few times already) on the mixture, it seems to be slowing down. So does this mean I can put 4GB more to make it 8GB or can I put 8GB on the expansion to have 12GB of RAM?

As it turns out, you cannot inject more than 8GB or ram. Comon reasons could be due to chipset limitations or max width of copper traces to the DIMM socket.

So the next move for this one is to get a 4GB ram to add to my current 4GB ram to have a maximum of 8GB which is still at the maximum level.

Hope this helps

  1. Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? With thanks
