FAQ about Acer Aspire 5 A515-44-R2HP RAM

How much RAM can I put in this laptop total?

You can go up to 32GB max - that's with both slots filled. Pretty decent ceiling for most people's needs.

What kind of memory sticks do I need to buy?

You'll need DDR4 SODIMM modules - those are the smaller laptop memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you don't accidentally order regular DIMMs.

How many memory slots does this thing have?

It's got 2 slots total. Depending on what came installed, you might have one or both already occupied.

What speed RAM should I get?

2666MHz is what's recommended. You might see it listed as PC4-21300 too - same thing. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2666 anyway.

Can I mix different RAM sizes?

Yeah, you can mix sizes like 8GB + 16GB to get 24GB total. Just try to match the speed and timings if possible for best performance.

Do I need to buy RAM in pairs?

Not required, but running two identical sticks gives you dual-channel mode which performs better. If you're buying both sticks, get a matched kit.
