| 678314 | 2008-06-14 03:29:00 | Hi All, My Friend has a ASUS Laptop - ASUS Z99Hseries , He is wanting some new ram in it, and it seems to take just standard DDR2, but i am wondering whether the ASUS laptops require special RAM like the Dell's? Cheers, ` |

| 678317 | 2008-06-14 05:38:00 | No laptop needs special RAM, just get the same type as whats in it. That is DDR2-667, or DDR2-533 or whatever. | pctek (84) | ||
| 678318 | 2008-06-14 06:43:00 | Just make sure enough slots are free and check how much each slot can hold. There is no such thing as special OEM RAM. |

| 678319 | 2008-06-15 00:34:00 | When I got my RAM updated, I went to Ascent technology's website and put my ASUS model number in- came up with the Kingston ValueRAM stuff, which I installed. It's been going fine ever since. :) They had the ASUS RAM stuff which was a tad cheaper, but then they don't make their own RAM, so they'll go to whoever comes to them with the best (cheapest?) quote... and besides, total difference between OEM and Kingston? $15...

| 678321 | 2008-06-15 07:43:00 | Look at the timings and frequencies, if you want to upgrade retaining what you already have to run in dual channel -though it always depends on how fussy the memory controller is in the end, but as a general rule, if specs are the same, inc. size of both modules then dual channel will be sweet so long as motherboard supports it. Otherwise just get some of the cheap Kingston ValueRam (PC2-5300 I think it is). CL5, DDR2 667. If you want to take it to 2 gb and the motherboard supports dual channel, get a couple of identical 1gb sticks (or identical 512mb ones for 1gb etc). You won't regret it. Kingston ram from my experience is pretty good, Their warranty period should outlast the laptop. | Deathwish (143) | ||
