Which 2mb Memory Upgrade Module for this Unit ?
308668
My own tests indicate that even with video-intensive tasks, the 1 gig of memory that is supplied is more than enough, and adding memory will have ZERO value on the speed of carrying out normal tasks with the Acer netbook. The limiting factor is the CPU and its built-in video chip, which often hit 100% of capacity during video-intensive tasks, such as burning a DVD. Adding memory will not improve performance.

2GB, I upgraded mine by adding in a 8GB chip to make it 10GB. The second slot is kind of hard to get to but if you can you can upgrade it to 16GB

Hi Gabriel I'm not sure, I went to www.crucial.com. I downloaded their Crucial System Scanner, it analyse's your system's hardware and provides a list of compatible upgrades that will work best with your system's specs and capabilities. Then I went to amazon because there were slightly cheaper. hope this helps you x

Hello, There are 2 memory slots. You can install another 4GB module in the second slot. Best regards, Amuras

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

Go to www.crucial.com and run their system scanner. The results from the scan will show how much and what type of memory your system can run. The results will also show compatible memory upgrade recommendations.

You can use 8Gb modules, there's only 2 DIMMS. I'm using Corsair DDR 3 16GB kit of 2 8Gb1600Mhz

There are a total of 2 slots with a maximum memory support of 4gb ddr2 533mhz

You always have to install RAM in pairs, which is why they sell them in two packs. So there are 2 2-packs of 4 GB modules for 16 GB total

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

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.

2GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1X2GB (expandable to 4GB) from the specifications section

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

Make sure to use low voltage 1.3v module. I was able to upgrade to 10gb total (installed 8gb module same brand and specs that the one I pulled out)
