    While reading reviews it says its not compatible with the 7520 model of Acer's Laptops.

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...lyMark=False&VendorMark=&Page=2&Keywords=7520

    Pros: G. Skill makes excellent high performance memory.
    Lifetime Warranty.

    Cons: Not compatible with Acer 7520 laptops.

    Other Thoughts: My Newegg Acer laptop's stock 2 x1Gb sticks were not labled, and Acer support didn't know their timings!... Took a stab in the dark and missed.
    I'm very thankful for Newegg's excellent RMA service!


    Yet, the next review says

    Pros: This memory works great, makes Vista run easy on my laptop. If you don't want to downgrade to XP on your laptop because of performance, then this is the ticket for you.

    Cons: I can't find my confounded glasses, or the blasted computer.

    Other Thoughts: Acer Aspire 7520

    Any thoughts or opinions?

    Your system has a maximum memory support of 4GB (2x2GB) PC5300/PC6400 memory.
    I cannot see why it would not work.
    I would stick with the Crucial memory though. I have never had problems with them
