Good day

No you cannot. Your machine uses DDR2 and not DDR3. You can upgrade your machine to maximum 8Gig ram using either 2x4Gig DDR2 667Mhz or 800MHz, or use 4x2Gig DDR2 667Mhz or 800MHz.

Before you upgrade your machine, Also consider that there are no Windows 8 Drivers available for your machine: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=364
