RAM Upgrade

[satinblack]

Got a question to ask, just gotten my hand on the G55VW and I am planning to upgrade the RAM to Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1866 Mhz, however I remember reading at Xoticpc that the Asus bios only supports 1333Mhz Ram.

I am planning to take out the OEM ram and install the corsair RAM on all four slots.

Would you be able to advise if I need to upgrade the bios in order for me to make full use of the 1866 Mhz speed or does the system will auto optimize the timings ?

Advise is much appreciated.

Thanks for the advise, well I not that worried about it. Will be taking out the stock ram and then replace all 4 slots with the 4GB x4 Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz ram.

Let me know how it goes, I look forward to knowing the results. Any chance you find 2000 MHz RAM? 🙂

Can i know What the G55vw Stock Ram Brand?:D

Probably Spectek like the G53, but that's a guess. Anyone else know?

I just thought I should add that I upgraded my ASUS G55VW-ES71 with a Corsair 1600MHz DDR3 2x4GB RAM. My system now has 16GB total RAM at 1600MHz. I just added the memory to the empty slots accessible by the removable panel.

Sweet! 16 GB is what I have. Are they matched RAM (try memtest86+) to see what everything is as well as bandwidth, CAS latency, etc.

or does the Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1866 Mhz x2 makes you drool as well ? hahaha

Gloater!!! lol 😛 Just trying to rub in your better lappy than mine. Does my dual 2.5 HDD + DVD+/-RW laptop make you drool? ... Plus 560M (128-bit).

hahaha, unfortunately it does a little bit. If only they had G75 in stock, I would have gotten that instead. But seriously you should upgrade your RAM to corsair vengeance, worth every penny on the upgrade.
