Have just purchased Acer Aspire 731-4634, and an extra 4GB RAM and 500GB hard drive. Should these be installed before turning on computer? Thank you!

If you have them sure but, you need to also buy a caddy (bracket) as 2nd hard drive slot doesn't have one to hold hard drive in place. This machine run fast out of the box someone posted 2nd bay does work.

Yes, you should NEVER try to install any internal components with the PC being turned on. Always install RAM, an internal hard drive, video card, etc. BEFORE turning on the computer.

Do you plan on doing the installation yourself? I would be tempted to let a pro do it.

I really don't know. All I know is what I bought it for didn't work so I must have removed the programs from my lap top since I can't find them. Amazon should forward these type of questions to the manufacturer or seller, what the he double hockey sticks are they thinking?It did load up on my Acer Aspire 1 Notebook which has an intel Celron CPU 877 @ 1.4 G Hz, 4. GB of Memory, 64 bit operating system, with an Intel HM70 Express Chipset LPC Controller - 1E5E if that helps. I don't know what all of it means, just parroting my device manager.

Is there anyone in Atlanta (GA) / Kennesaw area that bought an Acer Aspire S3 and is willing to meet with me for 20 minutes or so? I really like this laptop but I don't want to buy it before I see it. I am afraid that if I buy it online, the store might not want it back for who knows what reasons. Thank you Ariel

There is no cd or dvd drive on the Acer Aspire One. I purchased an external dvd drive which connects via the usb port. It was only $30 on the internet. That was three years ago.

The laptop has 64bit version windows 7 installed. The problem here is this laptop is refurbished and most likely installed adware.

I am nor sure I can answer your question. I bought this laptop because I have owned two other Acer laptops that were good computers.

It should work for you as this is a very generic RAM stick. I have an earlier model of an Acer Aspire One AOD257-N57Dkk and the upgrade went very smoothly.http://www.pcrush.com/product/Netbooks-and-Subnotebooks/729001/Acer-Aspire-One-AOD257-N57Dkk-10.1-inch-LED-Netbook-Atom-N570-1.66-GHz

Thank you for the response. What do I need on the Laptop. Not very Computer literate, bet you could tell that. :-)

I have the same model Acer Aspire One (except mine has 2GB ram) running Win 7 Home Prem. I just got the Samsung drive you mentioned and have watched part of a movie and am now burning recovery disks. So far, everything is working fine. The directions for the drive indicate the need to use both usb plugs on the cable provided. I'm doing that. Some reviewers have experience to suggest that such isn't always required. So, in a word, the drive is compatible.

I don't know as I never did it. If I were you, I would call acer and ask them. Sorry I couldn't help. Good luck!

No, for this model (not sure about other models) the 4GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard; and so, cannot be upgraded. This is confirmed by other similar models on the Acer website, as well as this memory reseller webpage: http://www.crucial.com/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+S3-391-9499-upgrades.html

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

Hi JamesThe Acer Aspire is a laptop as you well know and this 2GB kit is for desktops. Dimms are for desktops, So-Dimms are used for laptops. Without the exact model number I am not sure if your laptop will even support 2GB of RAM memory. The only information I could find on Acer's website says the aspire 5000 series is only capable of a MAXIMUM 1GB of RAM memory. You can go to crucial.com and get their phone number or use their online chat to ask them if they know since RAM memory is all they do. They should be able to help you with exactly what memory you need and whether or not it will hold 2GB.Good LuckJeff Hi JamesThe Acer Aspire is a laptop as you well know and this 2GB kit is for desktops.

There are many Acer Aspire One models, and they all vary in their hardware specifications and preinstalled operating system.The specific model of AO722-0473 comes with 2GB of RAM. You can easily upgrade to 4GB by removing the existing 2GB SODIMM and replacing it with a 4GB SODIMM.
