FAQ about Acer Nitro AN515-55-52KW RAM
How much RAM can I put in this laptop?
You can install up to 64GB total - that's 32GB per slot since there are 2 slots available.
What type of RAM do I need to buy?
You need DDR4 SODIMM modules. Make sure it's SODIMM (the smaller laptop memory) not regular DIMM which is for desktops.
What speed RAM should I get?
2666MHz is the recommended speed. You might see it listed as PC4-21300 - same thing. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 2666MHz anyway.
Can I mix different RAM sizes?
Yes, you can use different sizes like 8GB + 16GB, but for best performance try to match them. Same size, same speed, ideally same brand.
Do I need to remove existing RAM to upgrade?
Depends what's already installed. If both slots are full, you'll need to replace at least one stick. If there's an empty slot, just add the new module.
Will 3200MHz RAM work?
It'll work fine but will automatically downclock to 2666MHz to match what the laptop supports. No harm done, just won't get the extra speed you paid for.
