FAQ about Acer Aspire 5 A515-55-576H RAM

How much RAM can I put in the Acer A515-55-576H laptop?

Maximum is 16GB. The laptop only has one memory slot, so you'll need a single 16GB stick if you want to max it out.

What type of RAM does this Aspire 5 model use?

It uses DDR4 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory stick, not the full-size desktop RAM. Make sure you get SODIMM specifically.

What speed RAM should I get for the A515-55-576H?

2400MHz (also labeled as PC4-19200) is the recommended speed. The system might accept faster RAM but it'll just run at 2400MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.

Can I add a second RAM stick to this laptop?

No, there's only one RAM slot total. Whatever's in there now needs to come out if you're upgrading - you can't add alongside existing memory.

Is it worth upgrading from 8GB to 16GB on this model?

If you're multitasking heavily, using Chrome with lots of tabs, or doing any photo/video editing, the jump to 16GB makes a noticeable difference. For basic use, 8GB is usually enough.
