Can this netbook be upgraded from 4gb Ram to 8 gb Ram?

I have considered that but have not approached any expert about it. My guess, consider the source, is no. If you hear otherwise please let me know. Thanks.

No, its maximum memory is 4GB and it already comes with that. I got the info from Acer's website and also scanned the PC via http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/ Please note that the laptop comes with just 1 memory slot. See belowMemory Type: DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 PC3-8500, DDR3 (non-ECC)Maximum Memory: 4GB Currently Installed Memory: 4GBTotal Memory Slots: 1Available Memory Slots: 0

I bought NB505-N508BL 7 days back. Nice Piece! If you just want to surf internet, check emails, watch movie and listen to music there is no need to upgrade the memory. For better performance one can upgrade the memory to 2gig (DDR3 for new models and DDR2 for older ones). I upgraded to windows 7 pro and 2 gigs memory. My netbook works as good as a laptop. Note: Please don't order memory before you start using the machine, 1 GB DDR3 should be sufficient for basic users.

Of course, but if you choose Win7 x32 bit, then you will be limited to only being able to use 4gb of the 8gb installed ram. I suggest Win 7 x64 bit to maximize all usable ram.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties. I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps?

This laptop's memory can be increased to 8GB if you need to run programs requiring more resources than this unit provides as is...http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Acer/aspire-es1-511-c59v

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

I would not recommend this computer for those uses. I did upgrade it to 8GB.

Yes. You could install 8gb. We will charge an additional $50 for the upgrade.

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

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)
1826667
I believe you can. However, there is only one slot of ram and it is occupied with the 4GB dim so you can only replace it with a 8GB dim and that is the most this computer accepts.

I can confirm that the machine can upgrade to 8GB. The OS is running 64bit so you may want to upgrade to 8gb. Replacing the RAM requires a near full teardown of the machine. See chrome://system under meminfo for more info. The SSD is soldered on the board and cannot be upgraded with consumer parts.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.
