FAQ about Acer Aspire 5250-BZ641 RAM
How much RAM can I put in the Acer 5250-BZ641?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max. The laptop uses DDR3 SODIMM modules.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM memory sticks. These are the smaller laptop-sized modules, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure to get SODIMMs specifically.
What speed RAM should I buy?
Go with 1333MHz (also labeled as PC3-10600). The system might accept faster RAM, but it'll just run at 1333MHz anyway, so no point spending extra on faster speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can mix sizes like 2GB + 4GB if needed. Just remember both sticks need to be DDR3 SODIMM. Matching pairs sometimes perform slightly better, but mixing works fine.
Do I need to remove the old RAM first?
Depends what's already in there. Check how much you have now - if you've got two smaller sticks and want to upgrade, you'll need to remove at least one to make room for a bigger module.
Will faster RAM like 1600MHz work?
It'll physically fit and work, but will automatically slow down to 1333MHz to match what the laptop supports. Save your money and stick with 1333MHz modules.
