How can I add more RAM from 6gb to 12 gb null

Easiest method: go to Crucial.com. Download the system scanner. Select the 8GB (not two 4GB; a single 8GB) SODIMM recommended by Crucial. Order. Pay. Wait for the mail to deliver. Go to YouTube and search for "adding RAM to Asus laptop"; find one that closely resembles the Q304UA. You remove the screws from the back (keep track which goes where; they are different sized) and use a spudger to work the bottom plastic cover loose. Pop it off and find what looks like a rectangular chrome box that sticks up about 1/4 of an inch. Use a pair of precision pliers or forceps (I used a hemostat) to CAREFULLY pull up the tabs and remove the cover. There will be a piece of grey tape on the 2GB RAM stick already installed; CAREFULLY peel it back. There are two spring-loaded clamps on the side of the RAM stick installed; pull them slightly out and they'll spring out. When both have "sprung" the RAM should "pop up" slightly. CAREFULLY pull it out noting the notch on the bottom of the RAM stick. Take your new one, match the notch with the slot, push it in until it "clicks" and the spring-loaded clamps should hold it in place. Reapply the tape cover, then the chrome cover (CAREFULLY push the tabs back in to the board). Put the cover back on, put the screws back in, turn it on. 12GB!

You will have to get a 8GB RAM, there is 4GB on the motherboard. So there is only one slot for the RAM. That is what I did to max it out to 12GB, just added a 8GB stick.

I believe 12GB is the max, but yes it should be upgradeable.

its pretty easy, they have a few videos ob youtube, you will remove the only one you can {which is the 2GB unsoldered piece) and put in a regular 8gb (I used the 12800 PNY ones that are/were on clearance at BB), no problems at all, also put in a Crucial M300 and this puppy ruunnnns fast (BUT ASUS DOES NOT SUPPORT AFTERMARKET CHANGES OF ANY KIND, OR SO I WAS TOLD, SO KEEP THE OLD MEMORY STICK AND HDD IF YOU DECIDE TO UPGRADE)
