I'm wanting to upgrade the RAM in my acer aspire es1-711 where can I get info in which it will tell me if DDR 4 is compatible to a DDR3 machine? Where can I find how many dims the two different ram sticks use?

Hi PhilipMoore1953,

because of the manufacturer and model number you gave us, the maximum you can upgrade to is 8GB See the image I have attached from crucial.com:

If you are the sort of person to upgrade parts, I would suggest a desktop PC, Laptops are not the types of computers to upgrade parts.

just to confirm how much memory do you have in your system 4GB or 8GB?

OK, Before buying more ram, please download and run the  Crucial System Scanner and then post a snapshot of the results after it has finished

Perfect, you can buy this ram with confident knowing that it is compatible. May I ask when you bought your Acer es1-711?

Thanks so much for your reply. I'm now understanding that the crucial ram that is showing will be compatible to my Acer Aspire. Can you tell me if ddr4 would be compatible against the current ddr3? 8G Do you believe it's a worthwhile upgrade to the DDR4 from DDR3? Thank you

From the results, how many compatible rams are there, the image you provided, is it the only one?

No they are not compatible DDR3 and DDR4 are keyed differently.

If you're running a 32bit OS 4GB is max the system will see.
