    Hi all,

    I just bought an Asus X54H Series and I would like to know if I should upgrade the RAM or if it is ok for use..for everyday purpose....

    I have 4GB Ram DDR3 installed on it.

    Also I would like to know if the graphic card Intel HD is good to play games and such like what?

    Thanks in advance

    4GB is more then needed for what you call everyday purpose. However,if you laptop only has 1 4GB memory DIMM installed and not 2 2GB DIMMs, it may be of small benefit to install a second DIMM, for dual channel memory,which should improve performance in some cases,especially graphically intensive tasks,since Intel onboard graphics utilize the same memory and will benefit from higher bandwidth provided by dual channel configuration.

    Intel graphics are only good enough for casual games, nothing too intensive and usually on low settings.

    Hi, I have the same laptop, and I want to ask you, does it have 2 memory slots? Because I opened it, and on bottom side, it have only one slot. If it have two slots, where is other?

    Thank you

    I'm not familiar with this model but perhaps it has another under its keyboard or palm rest as common on other laptops?

    I had an MSI X460DX with i5 with HD 3000. The HD 300 can run CoD on the lowest settings. and resolution.
