Hey people, i think im going to upgrade my laptop's ram from 8 to 16GB.

My specs

Acer Aspire v3-571g

Motherboard: Acer VA50_HC_CR

CPU: Intel Core i7 3630QM 2,4ghz (Max3.4ghz)

 

I have found 2 Ram stick packs but i dont know if they will fit in my laptop. if not these will fit, can some of you find some 1 that will?

 

I have found 2: will any one of the fit?

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CML16GX3M2A1600C10)

Or

Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10)

Neither of those would work. Thats standard PC memory. You need laptop memory.

Something like this

Are you sure it is compatible with that amount of ram. From the quick search I have just done 8 GB seems the limit.

 

i see, i searched for the mb and it has max 16gb, think im going for the Corsair VS 16G SODIMM DDR3 Kit 1600MHz, but im also thinking about getting myself a new harddrive. i have a toshiba 5400rpm harddrive 750gb. but thinking about getting a 7200rpm or a ssd! what should i get? :)

I think im going for the:

Corsair VS 16G SODIMM DDR3 Kit 1600MHz , 2x204 SO DIMM

And also i will get myself a

Samsung SSD 840 PROSeries 256GB 2.5" OEM

 

But the only thing that i dont know if they will fit! and the ssd how do i take my back up from my old pc to the new one, i have a ext hard drive so i can make backup.

 

But i dont have gotten any reply on the ram. will it fit in my MB. because i dont want to sit there like and idiot who have wasted 200$ on something that not fit.
