I want to buy some more RAM. I have a Predator G9-793 with 8 GB of RAM. Where can I check the exact type of RAM that I have? I tried CPU-z and Speccy but i don't know what should I be looking for. Is there something I should keep in mind when buying an extra (8GB) of RAM?

2133mhz is too slow speed. i doubt acer would use such slow speed ram in their top line laptops
try to get atleast 2400mhz or 2666 mhz speed ram.
best is you check the speed of your current ram and get same speed one.

I think it's a 2400Mhz, it says so under memory in my task manager. I wanted to know the manufacturer so that I could match it. So I just need to buy a SODIMM 2400mhz DDR4 RAM and it should be okay?0

Thanks, it was in spd tab. The default was Memory slot #1 but my RAM is in slot #3. That's why I couldn't find the info.0
