I love my laptop just my mom has almost the same one and has 200 more gigs than me! She told me her neighbor came over to use theyre laptop and upgraded it for them. mine is suppose to be a better version and its an amazing computer just i was wondering if there was something i could do to get more memory?
You posted and Aspire to Aspire-One forum, so ill do former 7551
200 GB is not RAM that is HDD sized, ok?
you confuse RAM with HDD.
you forgot to ask mom what was UPGRADED?
my guess mom ran out of HDD space full of videos. etc.
so got a bigger HDD and cloned the old to new. (free apps)
HOW to get more memory? but why>?
why do you need it, not one statement for need.
now or the future.
I have computers here 128GB but are servers.
you never said what your memory is now
2GB , 4, 8 ,?
nor what OS you run? w7-32 bit is limited to near 3.5GB of DDR memory./
7551
max ram is if 64bit OS is
Max : 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1066 SDRAM
there is your answer, but why do you need 8GB?
99% of most folks live in Edge or Chrome browsers their whole life now. so need very little RAM.
tell why?
came with windows 7 new. (home edition)
32 or 64bit, unstated by you.
click control panel , click system
bingo what OS and 32 or 64 bits stated clear as day there.
do tell
1) You can replace the memory by yourselves on your laptop. Obtain a memory slot that are compatible with your Acer device.
2) Power Off your laptop and move the lock latch to the unlock position.
3) Open the memory cover and then push the clip outwards. Take the memory module out and then insert the new module into your system.
4) Close all the guide hooks and then use the screw to secure the memory slot.
5) Place the battery pack to your device and reinsert the AC adapter, and then turn On your laptop.
step one
remove AC pack then.
remove main battery next.
then push power 5 seconds. button to discharge all CAPS
if you fail to do that you will blow up the DDR.
only change out parts if the power rails are at zero volts DC, and do wear a ESD protective strap.
take a class on PC repair this is day1 stuff.

Your'e going to end up building a new laptop.....
Have to upgrade socket S1 (S1g4) motherboard
The good thing about Danube platform is that all "Champlain" processors were launched in relatively short period of time (less than a year), and all of them have the same core stepping, which means that most motherboards will support full line of S1g4 microprocessors. Although all "Champlain" CPUs are very likely to be supported by majority of motherboards, you still need to consider other factors, such as Thermal Design Power, that may limit your upgrade choices. Also, your upgrade options could be different depending on the type of applications, that you're running on your laptop:
If you're planning to run multi-threaded applications or many CPU-intensive processes at once then consider upgrading to any processor from Phenom II Quad-Core family. Be aware that these CPUs are slower in single- and dual-threaded applications than Turion II and dual- and triple-core Phenom IIs, therefore go with quad-core CPU only if you really need it.
If you need maximum performance in existing games, or single- and dual-threaded applications, then the best upgrade option is any one of Phenom II Dual-Core microprocessors. If finding dual-core Phenom II proves to be difficult, then the second upgrade option is one of Turion II CPUs.
Phenom II Triple-Core CPUs have decent performance in single- and dual-threaded tasks, and good performance in multi-threaded apps. These are a good compromise between the Dual-Core and Quad-Core mobile CPUs.
Other upgrade considerations:
Be careful when upgrading to CPU with higher TDP. If you have weak fan/heatsink then you may end up with a system, that automatically shuts down during heavy workloads. Usually, upgrading from 25W to 35W CPU, or from 35W to 45W CPU should not present a problem. If you want to be on the safe side then choose upgrade processor with the same or lower TDP.
Finding the fastest processors from specific series (Phenom II Quad-Core or Dual-Core) could be difficult. As an alternative, look at slightly slower version from the same series - they could be easier to find and cheaper to buy. For example, fast Phenom II X940 is impossible to find at reasonable price.
The last, but not least: all notebook designs are different. Some laptops can be upgraded in minutes, while replacing a CPU on other laptops may literally take hours. If you don't have experience upgrading laptop processors then try to locate laptop disassembly instructions first, or do a quick check in online computer forums whether other people had problems upgrading the CPU on your notebook model or not. Tis NOT a do it yourself job unless you are really good with computers. And the price $$$.
what a load of bull. end to end. the OP never once said, CPU, so is OFF TOPIC bull.
the second bull is the PC has list of qualified CPU, and only those work and only if the newer BIOS supports the longer list. ok.
you act like the OP is going to buy a box of 10 processors in the class and hope the faster one works then eats the price of the others, silly no? why not ask the maker ACER first, and end this bull. (and read all BIOS upgrade text pages for details of the upgrade and see if newer processors were added, yah think?)

SOURCE: upgrade main memory
the back cover has 4 main screws after u have removed them the hole back cover is filled with latches, its a real pain to remove but u can do it. i suggest using clock work screwdrivers to lift the back cover. don't be ruff but dont just do it lightly.
good luck
SOURCE: Memory upgrade for Acer Aspire 3680
Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 1GB per slot so you can install modules one at a time, and you can mix different densities of modules in your computer. But if your computer supports dual-channel memory configurations, you should install in identical pairs (preferably in kits) for optimal performance How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS hope this helps pls appreciate by rating as fixyaa.thanks and Godbless.
SOURCE: Problem with upgrading my acer extensa 5620z memory to 4GB
The Extensa 5620z comes with 1GB of DDR2 memory. That's two sticks of 512MB. This unit technically supports 4GB; 2 x 2GB modules. However, unless you're running a 64-bit operating system (if you have to ask how you'd know, trust me... you're not) then only about 3GB will be usable. There's no fix for this, it's just a fact. All standard 32-bit operating systems are coded this way
If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.
Thanks, Joe

Acer TravelMate 270 upgrades:
The official upgrade slot is located on the bottom of the laptop and is easy to find. Just unscrew the small cover and there it is.
The other slot requires you to unscrew the two screen bracket screws. Once you have done this, between ESC and F1, F4 and F5 and F12 and PrtSc there are small plastic rings. Put a biro nib into these and pull down. They will pop down. You can now remove the plastic cover.
Unscrew the two screws marked "L9" on the bottom of the laptop which are located at the top of the memory cover. Now you can remove the keyboard. Underneath the keyboard is the second RAM slot. The SiS 650 chipset supports a max of 1GB per memory slot and since this laptop has two slots that means 2GB of RAM. I've used Kingston DDR400 PC 3200 SODIMMS.
You can also upgrade the CPU - the fastest CPU available is the Pentium-M 2.6GHz. Nothing faster will work - trust me on this. It must be a Pentium 4 Northwood architecture CPU with a 400MHz FSB. Standard P4 Northwood CPUs with the metal shim won't fit - unless you know a way of removing the shim without destroying the CPU. Best to stick with a Pentium mobile (Pentium 4 M) chip. Look on Ebay for these.
Of course the hard disk can also be upgraded - a 200GB 7200RPM 2.5" drive works a treat. Non SATA of course.
You can add wireless and USB 2.0 using PCMCIA carbus cards. I use a StarTech 54mbps wireless card with the RAlink chipset and a NEC USB 2.0 card with 4 USB ports. Both cards fit in at the same time.
The laptop absolutely flies with these upgrades.
