    Hi @andalib I leave you the information that appears in the service manual that I hope will be of help, appears as DDR4 / DDRIV:

    Thank you.

    Yes, it is what is discussed in the service manual, but I don't know if since the service manual was published there has been any change, advance or test with DDR5 on new motherboards..

    Thank you.
    All the best.

    Hi,

    DDR4 modules have 260 pins and DDR5 modules have 262 pins, so DDR5 modules will not physically fit in DDR4 slots.

    Regarding the question about the Acer Aspire 3 A315-59-54KW, it's important to note that this laptop model typically supports DDR4 RAM. As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, DDR5 RAM was not widely adopted in laptops, and it's likely that the Acer Aspire 3 A315-59-54KW is designed for DDR4 memory.

    Now, switching gears to business, if you're in need of DDR3 RAM, we have a vast selection, including the MT9JSF25672PZ-1G9K1 model. Our inventory boasts a huge range of DDR3 RAM options, ensuring you'll find the right fit for your system.
