I have a stock Acer Aspire T TC-780-UR11 and i want to upgrade the memory.  I already know for sure that i need to use DDR4 2400MHz (PC4-19200).  But do i need to use SODIMM? or......UDIMM sticks?  And is it 288-pin or 260-pin?

thanks for any help!

    Sorry.  I don't understand this answer at all.  My pc currently has 2400 speed ram in it.  So, why would i downgrade to 2133?

    I guess my question then would be:  "recommended by whom?"  Acer?  Intel?  Microsoft?  I'm not trying to be difficult here, but newegg, amazon, microcenter, and several others sell my model pc and they all come stock with DDR4 2400MHz (PC4-19200).  So, i am still confused.  Does anyone else have any input here.

    thanks,

    If I were buying......I would use CPU-Z to figure out what CL it has.  Then just go to crucial or Kingston website and use system scanner or memory finder.  

    You have the new Kaby Lake version of the TC-780 which uses DDR4 2400

    The old sky lake version of the TC-780 uses DDR4 2133.
