How can I find maximum amount of ram supported by my laptop.

Hello Team, I have an old laptop Acer Aspire E1-470 - 33212G50Dnss. I want to upgrade RAM size. Now I want to know:

• How many RAM slots does this device have?
• What is max RAM size I can mount for each slot?
• What is max RAM capacity of my laptop?

Thanks for support

You can't install any type of RAM you wish to and you are governed by the Motherboards maximum capacity for installing RAM.

In other words, you may want to install 8GBS but your Motherboard's max. RAM capacity may be 4GBs, or it may be at the max now.

Either go to your Computer/Laptop Manufacturer's website > Support/Downloads Section > look up the exact details there.

Or it may be easier for you to download the Crucial Scanner which will tell you what is the matching RAM for your Motherboard and the max. amount of RAM your Motherboard can accommodate.

And remember if you are using a 32bit operating system, installing more than 4GBs of RAM is a waste of time, as Windows can't use it.

It will use only about 3.25GBs out of the 4GBs anyway and the rest is reserved for hardware, etc

Microsoft explains that here why it only shows 3.25GB out of 4GB:

To use 8GBs of RAM, IF you can install 8GBs of RAM on that Motherboard, you will have to install a 64bit operating system.
