I have Acer Aspire 4741G Notebook with 2 GB RAM, 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium.
If I want to upgrade my RAM, how should I buy RAM module? What are the things that I should consider when buying the appropriate module?
Can anyone expertise in these things, help me?

buy the same speed module.. what's the one in ur system? use CPU-Z to check at memory tab.

Sorry for this silly question, can you take it form these images?

seems that urs is 1333MHz modules so look for those then

Core i5... 1333MHz overkill lor...

if not same frequency also nvm rite?? coz i brought and upgrade my 4741g during pc fair, one is 2Gb Elpida pc3-10700(667Mhz) and other is 2Gb Samsung pc3 - 8500F(533Mhz)

where did u see 1333mhz? seems its show 667mhz on the pic..

im also looking for someone 4741G user experience to ask bout RAM upraded..i know some people look this question as a noob but from my previous experience..RAM very sensitive issue need to match with mainboard spec..
n pliss dont act like "mr know everything" when ure not ACER ASPIRE user..especially for 4741G model..

lain brand lain perangai/masalah/issue..this is not general issue like u want to buy mouse pad..tq

im glad as a noob user..

Zzzz , for above . sorry I am not expert but have a lil bit knowledge in IT .

Ram upgrade is the easiest among all , and not too sensitive .
Any brand any speed put inside ur laptop also will work .
If u dun mind just buy a 1600mhz pc3-12800 one . it will auto downclock to whatever ur highest supported speed .

And ...
Pc3-12800 = 1600mhz = 799mhz in cpu-z
Pc3-10700 = 1333mhz = 667mhz in cpu-z
Pc3-8500. = 1066mhz = 533mhz in cpu-z

Its kinda related to dual channel problem , if u times 2 u will likely get 1600mhz or so

Ok, as an Acer Aspire 4741G User. from what knowledge I have is that this laptop has a max of 2 memory slots on the motherboard. Originally the laptop comes with a 1GB Memory on each slot, so that's how it will show you that you have 2GB as memory capacity.

TAKE NOTE
>> The 4741G Model need to have a [/U]PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM SODIMM 204pin memory type.

The slots has a Maximum capacity PLEASE take note of this also !! The maximum amount of RAM you can upgrade for this 4741G model is 8GB Max !

So, this means you can only install 4GB Memory on each slot to get that Maximum 8GB.
And make sure you get the correct Memory type as mentioned above. AND also be very sure that making this memory RAM to work, is a whole complete different thing altogether.

It is NOT as easy as you think. If you are going DIY on this, be ready to have several issues popping up, such as Freezing on windows start / boot screens. Non-compatibility issues. The Boot or BIOS errors that you may face. My expert advice is DO yourself a favour. GET the memory card and upgrade it using some experts on this. Get to a SHOP or a repair/upgrade specialist to do this for you.

Yeah..it may cost just a bit more, BUT its really worth all that Headache and effort TRUST ME !!! Ask the specialist fella upfront if he can help upgrade your mem on your Laptop. If he/she says can, THEN go ahead buy the appropriate card and then give it to that fella to Fix it.

And oh yeah, I will be upgrading my RAM on my 4741G VERY SOON also ! Cross Fingers and PLEASE pray for the success.
If its successful, I will then be replying here on how you can go ahead to do it.

Be a Fix-it-Felix, don't be a Wreck-it-Ralph !!!
LOL !

Hi, is the upgrading a success? Kindly share. Thanks.

I have recently upgraded my RAM to 8GB (4GB + 4GB).
Got a computer technician to do it. So far so good.

Congratulation. Can you share the RAM details? Model, MHz, etc.


or install CPU-Z

Thanks.

Transcend RAMs
Slot 1 - DDR3 SO-DIMM PC3-12800 (800 MHz) 4096 MBytes
Slot 2 - DDR3 SO-DIMM PC3-10700 (667 MHz) 4096 MBytes

Oh, can mix speed? no issue on stability? Hang etc?

I'm asking this because below is the stock ram.

So far no issues.

My old RAMs are the same brand. Different speed.
