What is the max. RAM for A715-51G-77YG?

I'm planning on buying an Acer Aspire 7: https://store.acer.com/de-de/acer-aspire-7-notebook-a715-51g-schwarz-nh-qhweg-002. Because I want to use it for 3D Game Development I would like to upgrade the RAM. My Question is what the absolute maximum is. The CPU tops out at 64GB, the OS (Windows 10 Home) can handle up to 128GB. Acer states that the maximum is 32GB but third party sites say it's 64GB: https://www.phs-memory.com/computer-memory-32gb-ddr4-acer-aspire-7-a715-51g-730q-ram-so-dimm-sp421458.html?c=330457; https://www.speicher.de/arbeitsspeicher/acer/aspire-7/a715-51g.html;

I'm using the Unity 3D Engine with Visual Studio 2022 open. Opera GX is mostly playing some music in the background. I would like to have 64GB of RAM. Is this too OVERKILL, or should I go for it. The price doesn't really matter its only a difference of about 100$.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Hi,

You can upgrade the memory up to 32GB(2x16GB) with DDR4 3200MHz modules, 64GB is an overkill and you have to return the modules to the seller if they don't work, I haven't seen anyone installing 64GB RAM in this model, do you use very memory intensive programs? You have to remember that unused memory is a wasted memory but it's up to you to try 64GB, you can also run Crucial Scanner to find out the compatible upgrade, avoid any modules with XMP profile, like Kingston HyperX or Corsair modules.

Your laptop should have 4GB onboard memory and another 4GB in the removable memory slot, you can upgrade up to 20GB total memory(4GB onboard+16GB).

But the Acer official website states it's 16GB?
