FAQ about Acer Aspire 5336 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Acer 5336?
Maximum is 4GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 2x2GB sticks. The system won't recognize anything larger than 4GB even if you try installing more.
What type of memory does the Acer 5336 use?
DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM not regular DIMM which is for desktops. DDR2 won't work either, has to be DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get for the 5336?
1066MHz (also called PC3-8500) is the recommended speed. You can technically use faster RAM like 1333MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so save your money and stick with the recommended speed.
Can I mix different RAM sizes in the two slots?
Yeah, you can do like 1GB + 2GB if you want. But matching pairs (2GB + 2GB) usually gives slightly better performance since it enables dual-channel mode. Not a huge difference though.
Do I need to remove the old RAM when upgrading?
Depends what's already in there. If it came with 2GB in one slot, you can just add another 2GB stick to the empty slot. If both slots are already filled with smaller sticks, you'll need to replace them.
