RAM upgrade limit on 2 slot Acer Aspire 3 A315-42-R8PX

DigitalNomad · September 2022

Hi, I've seen many posts about RAM upgrades but I'm still not 100% sure as some say I can go to 32GB(2×16GB) and others the limit is 12GB(4GB locked and add 8GB). I just need to know the total capacity I'm allowed to install in my specific model. I'm obviously looking at the 2400mhz as the 8GB I have in the one slot is running at 2400mhz, just need the size now or can I upgrade both to 16GB at 3200mhz? Thanks

Hi,

You can upgrade the memory up to 32GB (2x16GB) in this model with 2400MHz modules but it's an overkill in my opinion, 16GB(2x8GB) will be enough.

Want to upgrade my Aspire A315-42 but i'm not sure how to know which exact A315-42 is it

Well, I've a laptop that say that the model is
Aspire A315-42, but i realized that there are many types of A315-42 with different processors and other things.
I want to upgrade the ram memory and also just realized that I can upgrade the SSD disk.
How can I know my exact Model?
If it serves as any hint:

Model: Aspire A315-42
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 3200 U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.60 GHz
Istalled memory (RAM) 8.00 GB (5.94 GB utilizable)
System x64
It has dual memory, 256 SSD and 1TB HDD
And

My doubts are:
Which model is this one?
How much ram can I put?
Is it possible to add more SSD memory?

I'd really appreciate your help, this computery things are a bit hard for me as a newbie XD

Thanks for your time

Thanks, I'll try the extra 8GB first and if it doesn't improve the state of my game then I'll look at getting an external graphics card. Any recommendations on model of 8GB? There are alot of I think it's the Kingston or something like that brand here in Vietnam. I'm not wanting to pay through the roof if something cost effective does the same thing.
