Computer is a z3731 model
Memory Sockets or Slots are the place where memory
RAM modules are inserted in the motherboard. The Acer Aspire Z3731 has
4 (4 banks of 1) memory expansion slots. A memory bank is a group of
memory expansion sockets, a bank must be completely filled with memory
modules of the same size and type in order for the system to recognize
and address the memory. i.e. :
2 sockets (2 banks of 1) This indicates that there
are 2 memory slots. These are divided into 2 banks, and each bank
consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time
for the system to use.
3 sockets (3 banks of 1) This indicates that there
are 3 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank
consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time
for the system to use.
4 sockets (2 banks of 2) This indicates that there
are 4 memory slots. These are divided into 2 banks, and each bank
consists of two memory slots. So you must add memory two pieces at a
time (they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the
system to benefit from the upgrade.
8 sockets (4 banks of 2) This indicates that there
are 8 memory slots. These are divided into 4 banks, and each bank
consists of two memory slots. So you must add memory two pieces at a
time (they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the
system to benefit from the upgrade.
12 sockets (3 banks of 4) This indicates that there
are 12 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank
consists of four memory slots. So you must add memory four pieces at a
time (and they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for
the system to benefit from the upgrade.

I just attempted this, and I must say that there are many things about the other solutions that just plain wrong. Here is my step-by-step:
Hope someone finds this useful. By the way, while i can in there I noticed an empty expansion bay: anybody know what this is?

One othe slots for memory is under your laptop, and the other one is under you keybord. The one under you can reach by loosing the screws to the hatch. The one under your keyboard you can reach by remove your keyboard, the screws to remove the keyboard is behinde your laptop, they are on the hinge.
Be VYRY VERY carefull when you removing the keyboard, its al plastic and very very easy to break. Loose the screws on the both hinge, pull the keyboard backwards and up.
As i sayed before, do it very very carefull.
Good luck to you

You see, forcing the slot to receive more than its max (factory-default) capacity could cause unknown side effect that could leads to damage to either memory, mainboard or both.
But if you're lucky, it just detect 2GB but got somewhat increased performance.
But you have to be a risk-taker because I
really, really am not recommend this.

hello!
You can buy 2- 512 mb DDR2 memory. It should be the same spec with the two current memory.
Memory should be the same specs and capacity, you insert it to your slot 4-1GIG to maximize, in your setting i recommend another 2-512mb bcoz your current memory is 512 mb capacity.
Not advisable to insert diferent capacity or diferent brand memory bcoz it cause damage to the mainboard and memory also.
Up to 4 GB of DDR2 533/667/800 MHz SDRAM (dual-channel support on four DIMMs)
in your case, you can add more 2-512mb memory, DDR 2 refer to your current memory about about this number. 533/667/800 and follow.

Hi Bob, you put it into the Compact Flash slot. Do you have a wife ? with make-up tweezers ?? these usually work. no need to take the side panel off, you will not be able to access it from inside the unit.

Refer to the specs, number 2 is the memory compartment, you only need to remove the screws which are intact with the particular cover. If you can do it by yourself, you can refer to this manual, Page 19. Manual Good luck..
