Amazon doesn't give you the option. It's a huge hassle to upgrade an all-in-one yourself unless you're getting something like the HP Z series (which starts at about $1000 more). You can search online and see videos on how to do it. You could try buying it from Acer and call them and see if they would upgrade it, it doesn't look like you can do it from their website.

if you mean the RAM, there is only 8G...at least that is for the model I have.

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

no 1gb sticks will not increase your ram you would have to have 2- 2gb sticks (ram) to increase to 4gb I think you only have 2 ram slots so that is the only way to increase ram.

If you bought 8GB of RAM, you are in good shape in terms of working memory that is active at one time. You can upgrade if you didn't get 8 gb. As to storage memory, the 256 solid state hard drive or the 500gb or larger drives should be ample. If not, external storage is probably the best way to upgrade.

If you buy a external RAM card or go here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259184 you probably can. 8gb is the max for gaming anyways, so don't really seems you need more (at least if you are going to use this PC for gaming).

You can actually upgrade to 12GB with an additional 8GB module, I have done it. works fine.

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.

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.

It should you need to look up your computer specs and see if it can hold 8 Gigs of Ram.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM to 16GB. You may contact us after you place the order to discuss the options.

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

The 4GB RAM is on one module, there are two slots so max upgrade is 2 x 8GB for 16GB or buy an extra 4GB to make 8GB.

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.

Yes.But depends on how many RAM slots you have to upgrade.I have four and have maxed out with 32 GB(8GBx4)

I'm not sure, but I can tell you when upgrading RAM you need to make sure of 3 things: 1. Type (this determines the pin configuration of the gold connectors on the bottom). 2. Speed (faster speeds in a system using a slower chipset will *usually* scale down, but slower speeds in a system using a faster chipset will slow the entire system down). 3. Amount (1 gigabyte up to 16 or more, as each hardware and each operating system has it's own minimum and maximum amount of RAM it can use). You can usually find the answers to all of these by going to your manufacturer's website and looking up your particular machine.

That combination is NOT listed in the manual as officially supported. This is the only 8GB supported RAM listed, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233271
