I got a A315-41 laptop and i wonder what's the max RAM memory that it supports.
If i look at the datasheet it says maximum ram is 16GB and i think it was when it was launched but with bios updates things might have changed.
If i use dmidecode the bios/UEFI reports that maximum RAM is 64GB.
So my question is what's the maximum memory with bios v1.13?

I also want to link to this thread that has information about memory for the A315-41.

    Hi @Albert1st1 according to the majority of the serial A315-41 it supports 32 GB but as it comments MaCLane be would have to know the exact model to be able to confirm it, something similar to A315-41-XXXX where the "X" are numbers and letters.

    Yes the link is to the exact model A315-41-R6VQ.
    There the it says 16GB but the bios reports 64GB as max with dmidecode.

            Minimum Voltage: 1.2 V
            Maximum Voltage: 1.2 V

    I think the maximal amount of RAM has changed with bios updates.
    The bois reports 64GB as maximal RAM.

    Sorry, but I can not find that model. As for the BIOS, I do not think that an upgrade to a higher version offered by Acer limits the maximum memory, the BIOS updates provide improvements.
    Maybe the board is oriented to 32MB but there is a limitation of the chipset to 16, it would have to be tested.
    If you know a trusted store, you can try two modules of 16 and see if it supports the 32, if not, return one of the modules.

    Buenas tardes !

    ¿Su aparato es del Mercado Europeo, Danés y Suecia, correcto?

    Si es así, este modelo soporta hasta un máximo de 16 GB de RAM (siendo 2 slots 2x8Gb cada uno) SO-DIMM DDR4 2400Mhz.

    Algunas revisiones de la placa base soportan hasta 32Gb, pero ninguna 64Gb.

    Beware that dmidecode's data have been proven to be too unreliable to be blindly trusted. Dmidecode does not scan your hardware, it only reports what the BIOS told it to.

    Hello guys,
    I have a doubt, I have an Aspire 3 A315-41-R1DK ( 4gb ram DDR4 2400mhz for default)
    What  is  the  maximum  amount of RAM supported?, I am planning to buy a 16gb ram memory(2x8gb on dual channel), 
    but it could be great if the maximum ram were 32gb. Can you help me?
    Thank you
