Max RAM for G53SW-FHD-SZ143V

[sglnzl]

Hi,

I'm experimenting with RAMDISK and would like to run games from a large RAM Disk. So far I have Steam running in RAM but I haven't enough RAM for games like Skyrim.

I expect that the G53SW will expand to 32gb but ASUS say 16.

Has anyone put 4 x 8GB SODIMMS in one of these OK?

Cheers
Steve

why dont you just get an ssd?

Also what OS do you have? Windows 7 home premium only goes to 16gb

It seems Asus says you can go up to 16GB:

Hi AZN Cracker,

An SSD would certainly be faster than my harddrive but RAM is significantly faster again. My OS is Windows Ultimate 64-bit SP1.

Hi tigerg, yes ASUS spec says 16GB. When I bought the G53, 8GB SODIMMs were not available or ridiculously expensive. The chipset may possibly support them, which is what I'm trying to find out.
