Acer Aspire V3-731 RAM and CPU upgrade

Member Posts: 3 New User

Hey There,

 

I have an Acer Aspire V3-731 laptop (8 GB DDR3 memory, Intel Core i3, 2.3GHz, 3Mb L3). I use this omputer for work, would like to upgrade the ram, might the cpu as well.

 

I have seen "Crucial 16GB Kit (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 SODIMM" memory to upgrade, is it good or? Could you recommend me anything?

 

Thank you for your help Smiley Happy

    Hello,

     

    First sorry for the delay.

    According to the Acer specifications, your laptop supports up to 8Gb - DDR3 - 1333MHz (2x4Gb).

    BUT

    1. I found two memory modules of 8Gb for the Aspire V3-731 series (only one motherboard):
      Spoiler
      KN.8GB07.005SODIMM.8GB.DDR3L-1600 (Kingston)
      KN.8GB0B.009SODIMM.8GB.DDR3L-1600 (Samsung)
    2. Your processor also supports up to 16Gb - DDR3 - 1066/1333MHz.
    3. PNY gives these part numbers (they will work at 1333MHz):
      - MN8GSD31600: 1x8Gb - DDR3 - 1600MHz
      - MN8GK2D31600-Z: Kit 2x8Gb - DDR3 - 1600MHz

    So you should be able to upgrade to 16Gb.
