what does the 4gb memory buy you over the 2gb memory

I own an Acer C720P (2GB) and a C720 (4GB) and the 4GB is noticeably smoother in day to day operation. It allows more apps to be run simultaneously without having an impact.In a Chromebook, more storage memory (over 16GB) means very little, but more RAM makes a difference. Note: it is not worth more than a $50 premium. I paid list $250 for my Acer C720 (4GB), not the $300+ the pirates are currently charging.

A computer that's a lot more responsive and quicker at handling heavy or many tabs.

You can open more browser tabs and run more apps. If you don't open more than about 10 tabs the 2GB model may be fine. I purchased the 4GB model because I previously had the Samsung with 2GB. The Acer C720 is substantially faster and more responsive, but it also has a faster processor.

If your manufacturer approved this size/type of memory then I will recommend it. Your computer, most likely, will run faster as it will not need to swap memory onto disk. For me moving from 1 to 4G (win XP) made a big difference

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

Yes! But if I were you, I would buy the 4gb, and buy a 16 gb micro sd card... you will get more memory for less $.

It's similar to RAM. Graphics cards pull graphics data from the hard drive and stores it in VRAM. When you have more VRAM the card can store more data and access it faster. So 4GB can store more graphics data than a 2GB.

No. You can replace the two 2G RAM chips in your Mac with two 4G RAM chips (if the model of Mac you have will accept and read a total of 8G of RAM) and you should notice improved speed and absence of hesitation and "spinning beachball." If you replace only one 2G RAM chip with a 4G RAM chip, you won't see a lot of difference from the original(I was told by a Mac technician).

It comes with 2GB, since there is only one memory slot it may be upgraded by replacing the original RAM with a 4GB module and it may be possible to use a 8GB instead.

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

Your getting a 4GB instead of 2GB. The last time a spent a little more for this type of update I never regretted it. Other 4GB cards are a lot more spendy than this one.

Hi, there. This item is 16gb, just like it says in the title. I have no idea what 4gb in feature list is refer to. I didn't see it before. May be a mistake.

It has 768MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage, depending on what you mean by "memory"

I had a 4GB card and now I use an 8GB memory card which seems to be adequate. Probably can go to 32GB

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

It really depends on what you're looking for; i.e. what game(s) you're trying to run. I honestly don't know enough about specs to tell you whether the extra 2GB of video memory is worth the extra $60. My advice: go for the 4GB and you won't regret it.

It's one (1) single module of 2GB capacity. If you want 4GB then buy two (2) each.

I had removed 4 chips of 128 MB memory and replaced with 4 chips of 512 MB memory. fitzchristian is also correct about 2GB being maximum.

I have the 4gb card. Memory is everything in gaming. Haven't found anything yet this card couldn't handle on high settings. Haven't seen the other card. The 4gb card runs cool. Future proof is good sense. My choice would be the more memory!
