RAM upgrade Hello All,
I am looking to add more RAM to my computer. However I'm not
sure how much to add. I have just read an article about RAM and
from what I could tell it sounds like I would benefit by adding RAM.
I have an Acer Aspire X3910, w/4GB of RAM, CPU DualCore Intel Pentium E5700, 3000 MHz (15 x 200), L1 Code Cache 32 KB per core, L1 Data Cache 32 KB per core,
L2 Cache 2 MB (On-Die, ECC, ASC, Full-Speed), Hard Drive Drive WDC WD6400AAKS-22A7B2 (596 GB) 7200 RPM (avg. seek time 8.9ms), 2x Kingston DIMM Synchronous 2048MB 1333MHz 64bit. And two empty slots.
Any help will be appreciated.

Try running the Crucial memory scanner, which will then offer recommendations based on your system. Obviously, you can buy RAM from where you choose, but at least you'll have an idea of what you need. RAM Memory Upgrade: Dell, Mac, Apple, HP, Compaq.

RalpG  If you are using Win 7 64-bit, you can benefit by upgrading to 8 GB of ram. If you are running 32-bit, 4 GB is all that OS can use. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Home Premium 32-Bit - Build 7600 SP1 CPU Pentium 4 3.0 Ghtz Motherboard ECS 671T-M Memory Kingston 4 GB DDR2 667 Graphics Card Zotac GeForce 9400 GT 512MB Sound Card Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-Bit Monitor(s) Displays Samsung Sync Master 940 = 19 inch Screen Resolution 1440 X 900 Keyboard Microsoft Natural 4000 Mouse Microsoft Custom Optical 3000 PSU 500 watt Case NZXT Apollo - Silver Cooling Air Cooled Hard Drives Western Digital 160 GB == Western Digital 500 GB Internet Speed AT&T DSL Wireless Network |

4 GB is not some small amount of RAM, so what is it that you do with the computer that makes you think you need extra memory? I'm taking a guess and making assumptions, but you might not need extra memory. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS |

Thanks for the reply's ,
I would like to increase to 8GB, however I can't find
the exact the same RAM that I have installed on
my computer. I may have to buy all new. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire X3910 & HP Pavilion a6334f OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64x and 32x CPU Acer: Intel Pentium E5700 HP: Core 2 Duo E4500 Memory Acer: 4 GB HP: 3 GB Graphics Card Acer: Integrated HP: Integrated Sound Card Acer: Integrated HP: Integrated Monitor(s) Displays Sceptre 21" Screen Resolution 1440x900 Cooling Both: CPU Fan Hard Drives Acer: WD Caviar Blue 640 GB WD6400AAKS-22A7B2

I tend to run up to 3 apps at the same time and surf the web
at the same time.

You already have this configuration: 2x Kingston DIMM Synchronous 2048MB 1333MHz 64bit
You have two spare slots and you want 8GB so just buy two more sticks exactly the same as you've already got. Kingston Technology Company - Where To Go To Find Memory

3 apps at a time doesn't sound like much at all, to be honest. Take a look in Resource Monitor just to make sure you are really working your existing memory. I'm not trying to sound like I'm arguing with you. I just don't want to see someone spend money that isn't needed. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i7-2600 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD3P-B3 Memory 12 GB Patriot Extreme DDR3-1333 Graphics Card Nvidia GTX 470 Monitor(s) Displays Dell UltraSharp 2209WA PSU OCZ ModStream 700W Case CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced Cooling CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Hard Drives OCZ Agility3 240 GB, WD5001AALS, WD7501AALS All times are GMT -5.
