spelpa Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Hi everyone, i'm thinking of upgrading my laptop with 8GBytes of RAM. I've found Corsair's product VS8GSDSKIT800D2, eg DDR2 2x4GB SO DIMM RAM. The problem is that in the specs of my laptop states max memory = 4GB. I'm thinking that the manual of my laptop is quite old to be updated with newer information and RAM technology development. This happened to me with my old laptop and from the specs of the chipset i've found that it could support more memory than what the manual stated and it actually did! This way i enjoyed it a couple more years. So i'm asking the RAM_GUY GURU & others to help me on this. Here is some info about my laptop: Model = Acer Aspire 7520G CPU = AMD Turion64 X2 TL-60 Chipset = Nvidia nForce610m (manual states that - but i couldn't find any info on that that chipset anywhere on the web). Chipset = NVIDIA nForce 560 rev. A2 (According to CPU-Z) The nForce 560 is a well known and supported chipset for AMD: http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce5_specs_amd Anyone with the same experience? Will the 8GB ram suit my laptop? (I wish the "try before you buy" policy was available on all products). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Your best bet is to call ACER and ask them if you can use 8 gig. If your manual and the Corsair memory configurator only list 4 gig kits as compatible, that is all the info we would have on that system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spelpa Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yesterday i've installed the VS8GSDSKIT800D2 on the Acer Aspire 7520G (5 years old laptop) and now my laptop has 8Gbytes of RAM. Just letting other people with the same hardware configuration know. It works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
