IS RAM UPGRADEABLE AND UP TO HOW MANY GB?
345587
Not sure till I get nine but read this: In terms of system memory, our V7 review unit featured 8GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) RAM. Of this total, 4 GB is soldered permanently to the system board, while the other 4 GB is a replaceable SODIMM. A grand total of 12 GB is possible if the 4 GB module is replaced with an 8 GB SODIMM.

Yes, I upgraded mine with Corsair's Vengeance 8GB kit. The drawback is that your original is to be taken out. You can however get just one 4GB stick and upgrade it, but it is always better to have a matching RAM.

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

The 6GB of ram is comprised of 1x4GB and 1x2GB, and is expandable up to 8GB by replacing the 2GB stick with a 4GB stick. Hope this helps.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

Yes, up to 2 GB. I have upgraded mine. Money well spent. Just be sure to order the correct memory.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

Yes it is expandable to 8 GB in total. It comes with four GB installed when bought new and the second slot is empty which you can use to install an additional 4 GB. Make sure you use the same configuration as original which is PC 12800, 1600 Mhz DDR3 stick.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

Yes it can. I upgraded with a stick of Kingston DDR3 for a total system memory of 8 gigs.

unfortunately if i recall from trying this with mine there is only 1 slot for RAM so to upgrade it you would have to find a RAM card that's higher than the existing one.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Yes you can upgrade the memory. If I were to upgrade mine I would use Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 or CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9. The Acer Aspire V5 471P has 2 slots and a max total memory of 8GB.
