Asus K60IRF-RBBBR05 Notebook memory slots and motherboard

Re: Asus K60IRF-RBBBR05 Notebook

I want to know how many memory slots are on the motherboard. Questioning Asus and the vendor selling this unit has proven to be futile.

If anyone here knows this and the mfg and model of the motherboard, I would appreciate hearing from them.

The only valid thing I know about the motherboard is that it uses a Intel® Pentium® T4400 (1M Cache, 2.20 GHz, 800 MHz FSB) Socket P processor.

 

Have you tried opening up one of the panels on the back? That'd be a surefire answer. Usually it's a rectangular one that has a little logo of a memory chip by it. Opening a panel does not void your warranty, nor will changing RAM.

I am going to guess that since it's 4GB of DDR2 RAM you have 2 slots, each with 2GB in them. It's a fairly common configuration right now. You can run CPU-Z if you'd like a few other details.

 

dtd00d, thank you for your suggestion. I do appreciate your quick response.

I am determining if I want to buy the K60I to replace an old dying notebook. The K60I has the features that I need including 4GB of ram installed.

The notebook I presently have has two 2GB ram modules that I would pull and install in theK60I giving that unit a total of 8GB of ram. That is, if the K60I has two 2GB modules installed in two ram slots and not four 1GB in each of four slots.

This is why I want to lean about the motherboard.

 

I see that opening it isn't really a possibility then.
I don't know of any budget DDR2 notebook with more than 2 memory slots--I've only seen gaming notebooks with 3 or 4 slots. My G50vt has just 2 also. I don't think you'll be able to put all 8GB into the computer--the 8GB max entails 2x4GB cards and is the chipset limit.

 

Unfortunately I think you are correct.

The bottom line is that I really do not want to spend the cash needed to buy two 4GB modules. I just might buy the notebook and live with the 4 total GB's already installed.

Thanks for you insight.

Yeah I think 4GB for that notebook should be plenty (I have a hard time using more than 2GB when I'm not gaming). Personally I think any extra cash could go toward better things on that notebook or a better notebook altogether. The graphics card is a permanent fixture in this machine (as with most notebooks) and the CPU is a hassle to upgrade.
But RAM and hard drive upgrades are always getting cheaper down the road. You could always invest in that later.

Best of luck with everything!

 

and to you, best wishes.
