Which Ram to buy 4GB?

[Gursimran Singh Bharaj]

hey guys i bought a new acer laptop. it came with 4gb ddr3l ram. i want to upgrade it to 8gb. which ram will be good?

here is my 4gb ram single channel ddr3@799Mhz(11-11-11-28)

It's DDR3 on 800 MHz or DDR3 on 1600 MT/s (double data rate of 800) .Read on the stick and tell me the frequency on MHz.It is pretty risky to buy additional RAM because it can cause incompatibilities with the other stick. Also tell the model and the Manufacturer of your stick

the ram is inside the laptop and i have to remove the whole bottom. is there any other way to tell?

Hello Gursimran Singh Bharaj,
please post here:
A. your laptop model
B. full system specifications of your laptop

We know it's acer, but some laptop brands can't even be upgraded to 8GB memory.

All best,

Yes you have the possibility to Upgrade your RAM to 8 GB but I recommend you to buy a new kit 2x4 Gb at 1600 MHz.
You need to open your Laptop and see the exact model and manufacturer if you wanna put one more stick of 4 Gb
