I have an Asus U32U netbook/laptop. The specific model is RX012D.
AMD® APU E-450
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, will move to 14.04 on release
AMD A50M Chipset
AMD Radeon® HD 6320 Built-in
320GB 5400RPM HDD
The RAM supported is DDR3 1333/1066 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 GB SDRAM.
I currently have one 2GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333 MHz. I intend to purchase another 4GB for the other slot. I would prefer to buy from an online store like Flipkart.
I have explored quite a few of the available options and have settled on this one.
G.Skill SQ DDR3 4 GB (1 x 4 GB) Laptop RAM (F3-10666CL9S-4GBSQ) - G.Skill: Flipkart.com
I am moderately certain that it is compatible with the motherboard and the existing RAM chip, but this is my first time selecting and purchasing a RAM chip, so it would be great if someone could verify if its compatible.
Also, is this a good choice? Should I be looking at any other RAM chip?
