Is 4gb ddr3 extensible to 8gb?

Sadly no it isnt (soldered on to the main board). Tinkering with the RAM would invalidate the warranty as Acer dont regard it as a "user serviceable part"

My spec sheet says it supports 16GB - specifically "DDR3L-1600 (Support DDR3) and Slots: SODIMM x 2." Hope that helps.

You can put up to 32 Gig 4 X 8Gig sticks or 4 4Gig sticks = 16Gig which is what I am upgrading from because I am maxing it out to 32. Hope you understand now.

The type of RAM the motherboard can handle is DDR3 up to 2400 with OC. There are 4 slots total. All four slots are in use by 4x 4GB sticks. The maximum support memory is 32GBs. Note: If you wanted to upgrade to 32GBs, you would need to replace all the memory in the system and you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or higher, as Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is artificially capped at 16GBs by Microsoft (even though 64-bit systems can support 192GBs memory.)

I have 16gb in mine, but according to MSI's site, it can take up to 32gb of ddr3 http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z97_GAMING_7.html#hero-specification

Yes, it should be fine with an 8GB stick and a 4GB stick. Though you'd get slightly more performance out of 2 x 8GB sticks.

There are (2) DDR3 SO-DIMM slots. Not sure on the limits per slot, but you should be fine at (2)x(8GB) SO-DIMM's for ~$90 extra. The default configuration is 4GB+2GB.

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

A typical ddr3 memory from say Kingston or Corsair or any other good manufacturer will do. I used the Corsair Vengenace 8 Gigs.

I am using two eight gig sticks, but I do know that it is indeed compatible with eight gig sticks as well. It's a great motherboard, by the way. Couldn't be happier.

No. If you install this RAM with out replacing your 4 GB, it will bottleneck.

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

The 780 SFF has 4 slots which can accommodate (4) 2GB DDR3 memory modules up to 8GB max. A 64 Bit OS would need to be installed to utilize the entire 8GB. Thanks

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Yes, it's a really easy upgrade to 8GB. There's one slot, take 2GB out and put the 8GB stick in.

I have searched the webb quite a bit and I believe it is only compatible with DDR3 Memory
