Want to upgrade the RAM capacity of my Aspire XC-730 from 4 to 8 GB

I don't know if this is the correct place for this message. Please apology if I mistake.

Wanting to upgrade the RAM capacity of my Aspire X-730 from 4 to 8 GB, I didn't find any information on acer.com, despite this is a very common operation. So, I looked at other sites from the net, then ordered a DDR 3 4GB 1600, not available locally. When I received the parcel, I found that it had not the correct slot and pinout characteristics. Arguing that he had delivered the product I had ordered - which was true -, the supplier refused to take back the part.

This inconvenience aside, I have the feeling that this type of problem is likely to occur with all ACER product I could buy, due to insufficient user information. So I think that I shall never purchase any ACER computer in future.

I'm not sure what your "X-730" is… Maybe an XC-730? The Aspire XC-730 is a desktop from 2016 that uses the Intel Apollo Lake chipset and does use DDR3L memory. DDR3 without the L may or may not work (they run at different voltages), but those would still have fit. Since they didn't fit we know your system uses a different DDR version, DDR2, DDR4, DDR5, etc… To be able to help any more we need to know for sure what model you have. Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like xxxxx-xxx-xxxx.
