While seeing posts in many forums I see Corsair is good. But Kingston and Transcend are also ok.

I think by now you might have bought the RAM. I am answering anyway.

May be you can follow the advice of Acer since they might support you in future

If you are ready to take the plunge then go for Corsair.

Hi Samdash,

I am using the ram bought from below link.

http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300918080437&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:IN:1123

I started using from decemeber and I am replying from my laptop which contains the same RAM. It is working fine. RAM frequency that I am using is DDR3 1333MT/s. There should no problem.

However if you have any further doubt then visit http://www.crucial.com/ and then you can enter your laptop details. Then the site itself will suggest you the RAM frequency which is best suitable to your laptop.

I hope this solves your doubt. Please check and let me know.

Hi Samdash,

I am using 'Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1333 MT/s (PC3-10600) CL9 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.5V Notebook Memory Modules ram" and it is good. I did not face any issues so far using this RAM. You can go for it.

Sorry for the late reply, I saw the post now. I hope this helps.

Re: ACER ASPIRE 5560G BIOS ISSUE

Hello Guys,

Even I had a similar problem. I was planning to take it to service center. But just wanted to try once more so searched in the community and got this thread.

My situation is I changed my RAM 2 months ago from 3GB to 8GB on my 5830TG. It was working fine till last couple of weeks until I made one change in BIOS setting and then I tried rebooting then I don't get any screen. my Hardisk looks like it was running. I never got to BIOS screen at all. I got scared & din't know what to do.

After reading this post I replaced my new ram with the old once which I had it with me. My laptop booted properly. Then I removed the old ones & added both the new RAM's then the laptop did not boot. Suspecting that one of the RAM must have gone non functional I tried one by one. Both worked fine. Finally I had to insert the RAM properly. Insert it little hard so that it sat fine in the slot. I also reset my BIOS just in case.

Great post guys, it helped my try once. You don't know how much time and money I saved :-)

Thanks a ton.

Hello all,

After my research, I have found out that acer supports max of 8GB 1333Mhz RAM, i.e. 4GB per slot for my laptop (5830TG).

Also please note the below points.

1. Max RAM memory supported by "Intel Core-i5 2410M" is 16GB but acer only recommeds and supports 8GB of RAM

2. The HM65 Express Chipset supports 16GB of RAM but acer only recommends and supports 8GB of RAM

3. The max RAM frequency supported by acer is 1333Mhz, 1600MHz is not supported since the BIOS does not allow you to use it as one guy mentioned in a forum. If you want to use 1600MHz RAM then you need to flash the BIOS which is not the right thing since there will be heat issues and laptop might stop working and it is anyway not tested and certified by acer.

This applies to anyone whose laptop contains "Intel HM65 Express Chipset" motherboard and "Intel Core-i5 2410M" processor.

I am writing this so that it will be a reference for me and people like me who are looking for upgrading their RAM.

I am planning to buy "Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1333 MT/s (PC3-10600) CL9 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.5V Notebook Memory Modules". I will update my experience with this RAM after some 4 to 6 months so that if any of you are planning to upgrade can probably take this as a starting reference.

Thank you folks.
