acer aspire 5745g-6323

hi, hopefully someone out there knows the answer. i want to know my max ram upgrade. everywhere i have checked says 8gb with 2 slots. upon opening my laptop, i see that i have 4 slots. the closest i have come to anyone suggesting using these is to still have 8gb max with 2gb in ea.
the mother board is a ZR7, and im running 64 bit windows. not sure what other info to use to find this on my own. thanks for any help.

 

also, cpuz says channels # dual. if i understand this correctly. it says i have 4 slots. 2 channels, each being a pair.

 

It says 16GB maximum 4GB in each slot according to this link:

But Acer site says 8GB maximum, if you have 2 RAM modules of 2GB at the moment, I would try 2 4GB modules to replace them.

4GB is more than enough but it all depends on how you use your laptop and how much you are prepared to spend, wait until someone more experienced to advise you.

 

Thanks! This one is the 5745g-6726. The ram slots do look the same. I will most likely just go with 2 more 2 gb sticks. If i did put more than it could handle, would it damage my laptop?

 

No it wouldn't damage anything- it just wouldn't boot or wouldn't detect some of the RAM.

 

Thanks so much for the info.

 

Do you still have the acer 5745g ??????? plz reply
