do i replace the stick that is already there? or do I just add a second to boost the memory? going from 512 to 533

Since this product is 2-1 GB sticks, and since most home PC's that use DDR2 memory only have 2 memory slots, any existing memory would need to be removed. Best performance is achieved by using matched pairs of RAM

If you only have 2 slots then replace them in pairs. If there additional empty slots, add these to increase your existing memory.

My guess is that it's the 4GB RAM that's slowing things down rather than the hard drive. And to upgrade to 8GB (the maximum it can take) means replacing the existing memory with a $50-$60 8GB stick, as there is only one memory slot inside (according to CNet review). It could probably also use (esp. when first purchased) a good cleaning out of extraneous memory-hogging apps that get auto-loaded at boot time.

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Yes you can most defiantly replace this yourself! All you need is a small Phillips head screwdriver. On the base of your laptop there is a compartment that houses your memory. Just follow your user manual and remove this compartment. The current memory should be stack on top of one another and held in place by 2 metal clasps each. Gently pull the clasps on the top memory apart and the first memory stick will pop out. Do the same for the memory stick under the first one. Then take your new memory, line it up and gently push it down, the clasps will snap shut locking the new memory in. Repeat for the top memory stick, replace the back panel and fire her up! fyi http://www.manualslib.com/manual/232596/Acer-Aspire-7750z.html?page=26#manual

Thx. Do you need to replace the memory in 2 gb "pairs" due to the dual channel aspect. Crucial's website said yes. Thx in advance

The original memory sticks were about an inch longer than the current ones. If your device takes the longer sticks you need the adapter to use the shorter (memory stuck pro) style or you can't get them out IF you manage to get it all the way in.

It is best to pair matching memory. So you'll want to buy another 4gb stick if that's what you currently have. Make sure the frequency is the same too, the majority will be 1600MHz. If you want to be sure you'll need to look up manufacturers specs online for look on your existing memory or it might be on the memory itself. Hope that helps.

to the best of my knowledge, your machine will take a maximum of 8gb of ram (DDR2)...that (should) means a pair of 4gb sticks...I do not know if your computer came with a pair of 1.5's or a single 3gb stick...check out what is inside the computer...just Google "how to remove/replace the RAM in (your model)...it's simple to do. It is costly however for DDR2's (probably $100 or more each). good luck

I suggest you contact Crucial. If you were going to use it, I reccomend you to install a fresh build.

First thing in adding RAM is to check the PC Manufacturer to see what the configuration is of the hardware. Some have 2 empty slots for additional memory, some have one that is fixed (and not easily accessible) and one open. While some have both slots easily changed to pairs of identical SODIMMs. Frequency (333MHz) should also match what is recommended by Sony. In other words, you might only need to add one additional 512 to get to that 1024, if there is already a 512 aboard. But they need to be the same if paired.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

Hi, I suggest you go into the BIOS Press/Tap F2 and turn Disable BOOT BOOSTER. Press F10 to save the setting and exit. Remove the Battery after turning off the BOOT BOOSTER. Make certain the RAM is Seated in the slot evenly both sides of the RAM should be the same depth in the slot. Look at the key slot and make certain it is seated in the slot. 1 GB stick is all it will take as there is 1GB on the motherboard. The RAM should be a DDR2 SO Dimm speed 5300. I also suggest windows anytime upgrade to at least Home Premium.

Go to crucial.com, log in and have them scan your computer for memory availablility for your system and recommended upgrade to meet your needs. Note it is recommended that all memory sticks added to a system should be the same type and manf. Once you get that infomation with the Crucial product number you can shop for the number of compatable memory sticks you need to attain 2,4,6,8 Meg of memory you want or will fit your system. Remember to keep them the same type (size) and make. You now can shop to find the best deal. Watch for shipping and return charges. Personnaly I Have never had a crucial memory stick failure also have used their SS-hard drives.

Two. I placed a second 2gb stick in the empty slot and it has booted fine and feels slightly quicker. DDR3 PC 10600 1333. Simple one screw, slide off bottom panel removal. Writing this from my C7.

Like Mark Nelson I gave up and went back to the original 1gb that came in it.But here is a link from a Amazon review from someone who thinks they found the right memory for the ASUS 1005PERoy Fowler says:http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=hynix+2GB&x;=17&y;=14is the link to Amazon for the RAM stick that is working fine for me...i received it from OEMPCWORLD and altho it says Hynix at Amazon the stick itself says Netlist...either way it works great!

Yes. make sure to go through the memory confciguration process after restarts or go into ur BIOS. Should run 20% better on each stick u install. have a nice day.
