Hey hey.

I have an Asus x550vx, as it says on the motherboard and I see that I have 1 RAM slot free, so I said lets upgrade it with some ram, its cheap :)

But I dont seem to be able to find how much can I upgrade it to. On one website I found the following info: "The motherboard incorporates a soldered DDR4-2133 RAM chip but can hold up another 8GB chip for a total of 12GB RAM.".

The laptop currently has 8GB soldered RAM, so does that mean I can only add a 4GB stick for a total of 12GB? Because at first, I was looking to buy an 8GB one. But then on another website I found different info, that says: RAM 8GB, max supported RAM 16GB.

The first website info: https://laptopmedia.com/review/asus-x550vx-k550vx-review-gaming-on-a-budget/
Second website: https://www.productindetail.com/pn/asus-x550vx-dm097t

Now I dont know if I can go for 8GB or only 4GB stick?
