FAQ about Acer Aspire 5349-2418 RAM
How much RAM can I put in my Acer 5349-2418?
Maximum is 8GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 4GB per slot max. The laptop won't recognize anything larger even if you try to install it.
What type of memory do I need for this laptop?
You need DDR3 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular desktop RAM. DDR4 won't work - has to be DDR3.
What speed RAM should I get?
1066MHz (also labeled as PC3-8500) is what's recommended. You can install faster RAM like 1333MHz or 1600MHz, but it'll just run at 1066MHz anyway, so no point paying extra for faster speeds.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yes, you can mix sizes like 2GB + 4GB for 6GB total. Just remember each slot maxes out at 4GB. Mixing brands is usually fine too as long as they're both DDR3 SODIMM.
Do I need to install RAM in pairs?
No, you don't need matching pairs. One stick works fine. But having two identical sticks can enable dual-channel mode which gives slightly better performance.
What happens if I install more than 8GB?
The system will only recognize 8GB max. If you put in 2x8GB sticks, it'll still only use 8GB total. The rest is wasted, so stick to the limit.
