Acer Aspire x3950 RAM Upgrade

[Botanical Concepts]

Hi folks,

I want to upgrade my computers ram. I have done some research but I need some clarification. I have discovered my current ram (Kingston 2GB 2RX8 Pc3-106000U 9-10-BO) but cannot find this RAM available for sale, nor even on kingstons website. I have 8gb capacity max on motherboard, with 2x2gb currently, looking to add 2x2gb more. The manual lists some options suitable for acer aspire x3950:

DIMM Size: 1gb, 2gb
Pin: 240

Samsung:

- M378B2873EH1-CH9
- M378B2873FHS-CH9
- M378B5673EH1-CH9
- M378B5673FH0-CH9

Unifosa:

- GU502203EP0201
- GU512303EP0202

Apacer:

- 75.073C1.G02
- 75.A73C1.G02

I'm pretty sure the frequency is 1333Mhz. I did find a vendor on amazon that will ship the M378B5673EH1-CH9 to NZ I think. There is also some RAM I can use according to crucial scanner:

So a few questions relating to that:

a) Can I mix my kingstons with M378B5673EH1-CH9?
b) Are those RAM's listed on crucial.com mixable with my kingstons?
c) Can I buy something locally available (in NZ) as long as it's similar i.e. frequency, latency etc?

Thanks.

the answer to a) and b) are no. Mixing RAM from different manufacturers is always a bad idea. So to be safe, I'd recommend buying a completely new set of RAM.
