    Hello :)

    I recently bought this Asus U32U:
    AMD E-450
    4 GB DDR3 - With max of 8GB
    320 GB HDD / 5400 rpm
    AMD Radeon HD 6320
    13,3'' Screen

    Its ment for school work, but i want to play a game or two in the boring hours of the class. So i got 2 questions for you.

    1. I Found this 'Crucial DDR3 SO-DIMM 1333MHz 4GB CL9, 1.5V'
    Will it fit?
    2. Will i be able to run games more smoothly? and what kind of games?
    3. How do i put it in?

    I noticed theres a big lid under the computer, do i open that? and how?
    Theres no screws. and when i try to open it, im so scared to break something.
    it feels really 'squishy'

    Best regards!!! :)

    (From ASUS U32U page)

    DDR3 1333 support on E-450 - So the Crucial you've found will work fine.

    http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/U32U/E6792_U32U_U82U_Emanual_Z103.pdf

    Pages 56-58 of this manual say you just unscrew a little screw in the middle as shown on pg 56 and 57, to access the RAM sockets. :)

    You can probably try a few games on it in low or med details. So how do you like the U32U so far? Pros and cons?

    If you find the new memory you added to the previously vacant slot
    DID NOT GET RECOGNIZED by your computer, don't loose heart.
    There is still a good chance that swapping the two memory modules'
    slots will do the trick (swap memory -- Slot-1 and Slot #2)
    Power up your computer. You may well find that the computer now
    will recognize all of your memory.
