Victor, the Windows Task Manager shows how much memory is being used, as well as how much of the CPU is being used. The most memory intensive task I've seen is watching a Hulu video. That task uses LESS than 1 gb of memory, although the CPU may hit 100% from time to time. Of course, if I wanted to watch two or three Hulu videos at the same time, or maybe try to use PhotoShop, then 2 gb of memory would be useful. But, I doubt many folks use a $300 netbook as their Photoshop editing computer.

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

I agree with Alan.If you run the Performance Index you can see that the bottleneck comes from the CPU.BTW, I get 2.4 as Performance Index.
308667
Hi Steve, did you ever decide to upgrade to 2gb of RAM on your Acer AO532h-2588? If so which of the three RAMs did you go with and did it work?
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.
308669
anyone who says that a 2GB memory won't speed up your netbook don't know what their talking about. use the PC2-6400 800MHz memory. If you don't mind spending the extra 43 bucks then get it, you'll be happy you did.

Thanks for your feedback. One thing that occurs to me is that my Acer delivers what is needed to simply play back my Netflix Instantwatch with the original 1mb. I think I will keep it there. It's all I really use it for, with exception of occassional hotel stays to check email.
308671
Hi Kevin, no, I figured because I never really do serious work on it, I wasn't going to bother. As long as Netflix instantwatch works with the original ram, as well as other streaming sites like cbsnews.com, I won't worry about it. And it streams perfectly on it.

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

I would suggest going to crucial.com and let them do a memory configuration with the computer that you are hoping to install the memory modules. The configurator will tell you what modules are accepted for your computer without agreeing to buy from them. If the memory modules are not acceptable for your computer, you can always buy what they might have to offer.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

Ram can be upgraded to 2 gig max. Takes 2 GB - SO DIMM 200-pin - DDR2 - 800 MHz / PC2-6400. Found here: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB Kit (2X1GB) 800MHZ DDR2 SODIMM Notebook Memory

Go to Crucial Web site and see what they recommend. I found that they recommend PC4200 DDR2 553 SDram. I am surprised because I assumed they would recommend SODIMM. I have used 667MHz PC2-5300 in place of PC2-4200 - but that was me. I knew I was taking a chance that it wouldn't work - it did work - I was lucky. Why not safe side it and use what Crucial recommends.

Note the last info seems the same as this memory BUT the only difference is what it says after the DDR2 DIMM it changes to UDIMM so I'm not sure maybe u should go to this link and ask one of this guys they will answer u in no time : tomshardware.com 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.

Hello, you can see what Crucial GB Memory Chips will both fit your computer, and how much Memory it can expand to at this URL: http://www.crucial.com/ Run the "System Scanner Tool", and then choose what it is exactly you want to Upgrade to, depending on price and capacity. You can then purchase these parts from Crucials Website Directly, or look for a better price on Amazon, just make sure they are in fact the same Modules, (PARTS) from either site.

****(DDR2-800) is technically called PC2-6400, if your installed memory is DDR2-800, this is right module for you. It's also backward compatible with PC2-5300 (DDR2-667) ***DDR2/ DDR3 Laptop memory modules are 200 PINS and Desktop memory modules are 240 PINS.

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2KIT51264BF160B/dp/B005LDLVAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397079242&sr=8-2&keywords=SO-DIMM+ddr3. The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time. It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

I used this sold by Amazon. It works very well. PNY OPTIMA 2GB DDR2 667 MHz PC2-5300 Notebook / Laptop SODIMM Memory Module MN2048SD2-667 It took longer to open the package than to install the memory. Remember as others have said, there is only one memory slot so you must use a single 2G memory module.
