Hi all,

Good morning.

I just purchased this: https://store.acer.com/en-in/laptops/aspire/acer-aspire314-42-nx.hf9si.00q

Q1: When I checked the HW specs using CPU-Z I found the RAM module in Slot 1 to be a  3200Mhz. It is surprising because the CPU platform is limited to 2400Mhz which again is confirmed by the CPU-Z.
Now I didnt find another 3200Mhz 4GB module anywhere. If I use a 2666Mhz module in other other slot will I be able to use dual channel RAM ?

Q2: The specifications of M.2 slot is:  Supports up to 512 GB SSD, PCIe Gen3 8 Gb/s up to 2 lanes, NVMe
Its pretty clear, but I saw somewhere that SATA is also supported, just asking again..

Thanks
