Additional Notes
- The ASUS ROG GL704GW-EV004T Scar II contains 2 SO-DIMM slots, meaning both memory modules must be replaced simultaneously to achieve the 32 GB maximum capacity, as no single slot can be left empty without reducing dual-channel bandwidth performance.
- DDR4-2666 MHz frequency represents a performance ceiling below contemporary gaming standards; upgrading to faster DDR4 modules (3200 MHz or higher) will not yield performance gains due to BIOS constraints that enforce the 2666 MHz specification across all installed memory.
- SO-DIMM form factor requires laptop-specific memory modules rather than standard desktop DIMM variants, limiting sourcing options and preventing use of generic PC memory inventory for replacement or expansion.
- Transitioning from the factory configuration to 32 GB requires purchasing a matched 2x16 GB kit rather than individual modules, as mismatched capacity configurations can cause boot failures or memory recognition errors in this platform.
- The 32 GB maximum constraint means no upgrade path exists beyond this capacity threshold; storage-intensive applications relying on data caching will operate at fixed memory allocation limits regardless of system drive capacity.
- Replacing SO-DIMM modules on this platform does not void the manufacturer warranty when performed without damage to retention clips or connector contacts, but requires static discharge precautions during installation to prevent component failure.
