Description
In this video, I perform a soldered RAM upgrade on an ASUS ROG Ally handheld PC/console, upgrading it from 16GB to 32GB of system memory. In addition to showing the full hardware upgrade, I also go over the process of modifying the SPD data in the system BIOS appropriately, so anyone can follow the process for this or any similar device.
