    I've got some "RAMN" questions!

    I believe my Q885 came with 4GB on two sticks, but is it 1066 or 1333? I recall hearing that they did sneak some 1333 in but never updated the spec sheet.

    This model comes with only two RAM slots, right?

    I assume that I'd have to replace both sticks and if I do, should I stick with 1066 or go to 1333? Also I assume that I will have to jump to 8GB and not 6GB?

    Just some early morning thoughts. lol

    From the spec sheet from Toshiba:

    The whole thing is here, if you want to save a copy for future reference: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/qosmio_X505-Q885.pdf

    The newer models also come configured with RAM at 1066 (I am looking at the Q896 and Q893 spec sheets), so I doubt the Q885 ever got the 1333 memory.

    How come you want to upgrade? I would think 4GB is more than enough for most users. Is your Qosmio slowing down?

    I guess I was confusing this lappy for the Asus I was looking at.

    I don't "need" more ram, but more is nice to have. It's not something I am actively pursuing. Just curious and if I saw a great deal. Plus I like to multi-task, I like to have a browser up, a game and some music and maybe that paper I am supposed to be working on! lol
