Q:
Hello, I have an Acer 5570z laptop, now it has 1G RAM (2 512MB sticks). I wonder how I should choose a RAM for the laptop, because I want to update its memory to 2G. Hope to get to know some methods and warnings about updating memory.

1): Of course updating memory could improve laptop performance much.
Before update, the most important question is that you must be clear about your memory, whether it’s updatable. And then first of all, you have to find out the laptop manual, read the part about memory capacity limitation, most laptop manufacturers would provide the parameter, which helps you make the decision whether the laptop could update before you do it. If you cannot find the parameter, you could also know its specification by reading the chip group on the laptop motherboard. Find the largest memory support capacitance of the chip group. Secondly, check up how the memory was installed when you bought it. And after you have known all notes before update, then you could take your laptop and update the memory.
2): The best method to update memory is to take your laptop to the IT shop around. After deciding the price and model with technician, then you could start memory update. If it could start up normally, and you could see there’s 2 GB memory in system property, then it proves everything is OK. If it could not, then it must be incompatible. Suggest you changing another memory again.
If your laptop hasn’t expired quality warrant, then you’d better to add memory to the repair center. Then you have much insurance when you
