Need spec sheet

every PC has a spec. 2012 PC, it seems. (carbon14 dated) lol
and memory is the most complex of all.
The rules are .
so lets read your manual together, ok?
btw Gateway died and is now ACER.com (same with packard bell)
i looked in Acer, and zero. (is this thing a relic?) y/n no, acer search engine sux. big time, so... Im forced to use google on to acer.com
a DESKTOP PC. the spec page shows....

• DDR3 SDRAM
• Memory Speed 1333 MHz
• Memory Specification Compliance
  PC3-10600
• Technology
  DDR3 SDRAM
  
• 16 GB max ram
• DIMM 240-pin

that was the first google hit, on spec. google is our friend.
not mine but yours. I use real manuals.
DDR3 in DIMM form factors, come in varying heights,
by RAM size and what chips are there, ok?

if you wiki dmm you see all that. full spec. on DIMM
ive never heard a tech ever in my life ask Physical size.
this perplexes me, why this is asked. ok?
the length is fixed, no variances , only height, so my wild wild guess
is you are afraid of hitting gamers grade CPU heat sink, that it?

here is the wiki page, it shows all you need to know.
the PC can not use all DMM3 made, it must be fast enough,.
PC3-10600

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM

the spec is here.

why not attempt to buy the DIMM at the top maker kingston.com
and see the sizes spec there, no 2 are the same tall.
some memory chips are huge or there are 2 rows tall.
that is all allowed.
30mm is common sizes. tall.
like so.

click sheet
1st stick I see is 30mm tall.
there are lots of makers and lots of sizes of DIMM.
I cant review them all but you can.
acer runs a gateway site , seperate.
here is your full manual.
RTM. but , oddly does not cover ram,ddr,ddr3, or memory at ALL.
wow. what a trash PC, and maker, buy dell by HP, never acer.

that is all I can dig up,, I'd sell it !

No you cannot.
This is the RAM specification for your model motherboard.
Memory Memory Type DDR SDRAM Supported RAM speeds 400 MHz • 333 MHz Max Supported RAM 4 GB

Elitegroup A530 is an old model.
It has a built in 128 ram. but it can support 256 ram, 30gb on memory

Hope this helps. Thank you for using Fixya!

The best way to find out for sure how much ram your computer could take is to do a scan with the Crucial scanner.
Go to www.crucial.com and click on "Scan My System"

Now you're going to download the scanner. Click the checkbox to agree to the ToS and Download the Scanner.


Depending on the browser you're using, you're going to click "Run" or "Save". I'm using Google Chrome so I only got the "Save" option. Click or double-click to run the scanner.


Allow the program to run if it asks you if you're sure you want to run it.
Crucial gives you a recommended max-it-out RAM config if you wish to max out your memory.


However the pricing can be quite a little steep, so if you just want information about what kind of RAM your computer needs and what it would run best with, the section below carries this information (directly below from the above screenshot).


You can take this bit of information to your local Best Buy or Fry's or any preferred computer store and they can help you with what you're looking for.
Hope this helps :)

There are two models for this type of desktop, the first having only two DIMM slots, but that takes PC2700 Ram, you have stated that yours takes PC3200 which would make it the second model in which case your model has (4) DIMM slots, each slot is capable of holding a 1 GB stick of ram for a total of 4 GB. Your RAM specification is DDR PC-3200

The best way to know what you need is to search for it on the web type in "Thenameofyourcomuter""specs"

if your comptuer is the Lenovo ThinkPad R400 notebook
then your specs are


RAM Configuration Features 1 x 2 GB Memory Specification Compliance PC3-8500 Technology DDR3 SDRAM - 1066 MHz Installed Size 2 GB / 4 GB (max) Form Factor SO DIMM 204-pin
Witch means its only upgradable to 2 gigs.

to see what is in thier now start your computer up, Go to my computer, right click on it and go to properties. Under that it will show information about your comptuer.

The Tech is correct. Two Gb Ram is the max ;which is based upon the BIOS and engineering of *********** board limiation.
