Acer Aspire 5552 Memory Upgrade question.

BlitzKing10

I am looking into purchasing more memory for my Aspire 5552, however I was looking into getting memory of a higher speed bracket to hopefully bring out more performance when playing games.  The acer support website:

http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/2010/Acer/Aspire/Aspire5552/Aspire5552sp2.shtml

 

 Says Dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM support: Up to 4 GB of DDR3 1066 MHz system memory, upgradable to 8 GB using two soDIMM modules.  I currently have 8GB of DDR3 1066 installed, and was looking into getting a Dual Channel kit of 8GB DDR3 1600, for a bit of a speed boost to match my 7200RPM HDD.  But I have read that some systems were  not compatible with cetain brands and speeds of memory modules, and would not boot with them, and I was just curious if the Aspire 5552 was compatible with them.

 

Info:

Acer Aspire 5552-7803

 

 

Windows 7 Ultimate Ed. x64

8GB DDR3 1066

500GB 7200 RPM HDD

For your particular unit, with a 1333 MHz processor, you may be able to go up to 1333.

 

I'm not sure how much additional performance you may gain, when you're already at 8GB.
