FAQ about Acer Aspire 5334-xxx RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Acer 5334?
The maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots to work with, so that's 2GB per slot max.
What type of memory do I need for the 5334?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR2 or DDR4.
What speed RAM should I get?
1066MHz (also called PC3-8500) is what's recommended. You might find 1333MHz sticks work too, but they'll just run at 1066MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yeah, you can do like 1GB + 2GB if you want. Just know that dual-channel won't work with mismatched sizes, so performance might be slightly less than matched pairs.
Do I need to replace both sticks at once?
Nope. If you've got 2GB now (probably 2x1GB), you can just replace one stick with a 2GB to get 3GB total. Or replace both for the full 4GB.
Will faster RAM like 1333MHz damage my laptop?
No, it's fine. The system will just run it at the slower 1066MHz speed. You won't get any benefit from the higher speed though, so might as well save money and get 1066MHz.
