Welcome to Tom's Forum!

The 'limit' on the i5-2410M is listed as 16GB and Memory Types DDR3-1066/1333 - http://ark.intel.com/products/52224/Intel-Core-i5-2410M-Processor-(3M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz)

So as long as Acer didn't do something stupid you'll need a 2x8GB kit, but as far as 'speeding' things up oddly often the opposite is true in some situations and that's waking, sleeping and hibernation. I assume it has a 64-bit version of Windows to access >4GB of RAM.

To speed things up the number 1 thing to 'buy' is an SSD, by far the slowest thing is your mechanical HDD.

Q - Why do you feel 16GB is needed?

The reason i asked is as i use cad, drawings in 3d slow up a little and needed to know if it could of been sped up a little more.it is a 4gb of ram i just wanted to pick the brains of some one who will know if i up grade is there any benefit in going to 8 or 16 or just stay as it ,thank you for your reply you are very kind

Hi Jaquith,

If I were to try putting in two x 8Gb sticks, and it didn't work, would there be any chance of damaging either the laptop or the RAM?

Thanks,
Russell
