[SOLVED] Does this laptop support extra memory sticks?

[Maramsp]

Hey all,

My mom has the
Acer Aspire V3-331-P5G9

Which she likes very much, but she wants to have some extra memory on top of the 4gb she now already has.
When i look on this dutch site:

https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/438241/acer-aspire-v3-331-p5g9.html

It says that its expendable onto 16gb, but is this correct, or does this mean you can maybe set the virtual memory to 16gb?

Thanks in advance for thinking with me.

Cheers, Mara

from what ive just read, as i do not know anything about ti as its extremely "dated" but yes the Intel Pentium 3556 Processor can support up to 16 gb of memory max, as does that laptop.. its actual memory not virtual. but if i can suggest she upgrade, id say now is the best time to do so with all the sales. she wouldnt know how to act if she had a SSD for a boot drive and even just 8gb of memory with a modern CPU lol

but to answer your question yes you can upgrade the 4gb of memory, processor supports 2 channels max, and im assuming the motherboard only has 2 channels, so find a set of ddr3 2 x 8 or 2 x 4 to upgrade. Cheers!

Thank you very much for the explanation!
I will tell her this, and then send her to the store to get it done
