FAQ about Acer Aspire 5332 - [DDR3] RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Acer 5332?
Maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 2x2GB sticks. The system won't recognize anything larger even if you try to install it.
What type of memory does the Acer 5332 use?
It uses DDR3 SODIMM - that's the smaller laptop-sized memory sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure you get DDR3, not DDR2 or DDR4 - they won't fit.
What speed RAM should I get for the Acer 5332?
Get 1066MHz DDR3 (also called PC3-8500). You can technically use faster RAM like 1333MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so why pay extra.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in my Acer 5332?
Yeah, you can do like 1GB + 2GB if you want. It'll work fine, though having matched pairs (2GB + 2GB) is slightly better for performance. Just stay under that 4GB total limit.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends what you've got. If you have 1x2GB and want 4GB total, just add another 2GB stick to the empty slot. But if you have 2x1GB and want 4GB, you'll need to replace both with 2x2GB.
