I recently ordered a new Acer laptop with 4 RAM slots. The laptop shipped with two 8GB DDR3L RAM DIMMS and two empty RAM slots. The laptop also has Windows 8 and an Intel i7 4712MQ quad core processor, so if I understand correctly the machine should be able to use more than 8GB RAM. As leftovers from other computers, I have one 4GB and one 1GB RAM DIMMs (sticks? not sure I am using this term correctly.)
My question for you fine folks is: What are my upgrade opportunities regarding this leftover RAM? Can I simply add the 4GB and 1GB DIMMs into the new laptop alongside the existing (2x) 4GB DIMMs? I have tried to research the issue and it appears there can be hiccups with asymmetrical RAM placement, and examples of computers with odd-numbered RAM amounts seem few and far between.
If the precise technical specifications of the leftover RAM is important I can find that out later today. Thanks for any help you can provide.
