FAQ about Acer Nitro VN7-791G-77JJ RAM

How much RAM can I put in my VN7-791G-77JJ laptop?

Maximum is 16GB total. You've got 2 slots, so that's 8GB per slot if you want to max it out.

What type of memory do I need for this laptop?

You need DDR3 SODIMM modules - the smaller laptop-sized sticks, not the full-size desktop ones. Make sure it's DDR3, not DDR4 or anything else.

What speed RAM should I get?

Go with 1600MHz (also labeled as PC3-12800). The laptop might work with faster speeds but it'll just run them at 1600MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.

Can I mix different RAM sizes?

Yeah, you can do like 4GB + 8GB if you want 12GB total. Just try to match the speed (1600MHz) between the sticks for best results.

Do I need to replace both sticks or can I add to what's already there?

Check what you've got first. If there's an empty slot, just add another stick. If both slots are full with smaller modules, you'll need to replace one or both to upgrade.

Will any DDR3 SODIMM work?

As long as it's DDR3 SODIMM at 1600MHz or higher, you should be good. Lower voltage (1.35V) sticks work fine too - the laptop will handle standard 1.5V or low voltage.
