I didn't think the questions were all that there hard

I have a very slow running laptop Acer Aspire 5517 and have ordered a 2 gb memory module for it. I have been doing searches about how much I can add but find several different answers. some say 4 gb is maximum and others say up to eight. Does any one know for sure? Also I see the memory installed in this one consists of two single 1 gb sticks so if I want to add a 2 gb, for now, how do I go about it? I know there are but two slots available but is there any order the additional 2 gb should be put in? That will give a total of 3 gb will that work? Will my laptop recognize the new ram or must I do anything to install it? By the way I'm running windows 7 Home edition with service pack 1 and a 64. I know I seem to be a dummy on these topics but I'm learning. thanx

No special order required

Swap out any of the 1mb ram's.


4 gb ram is the max

After doing some research, it seems that the max amount of RAM is 4Gb. As for the laptop being sluggish, try formatting your laptop and installing a plain fresh copy of Windows 7, rather than the one provided by the company, as it contains a lot of bloatware.
