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

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.

No problem, buy the cheapest RAM available but make sure that the specifications match with the original RAM, like speed, CL value etc.
