2 gb DDR2? I see Amazon's description says the 3700 comes with 2gb DDR2 memory, everything else that I have read says it is DDR3....what is the real deal?

I have read about people successfully upgrading the 3600 and 3610 model from 2GB to 4GB of RAM. I assume that on this newer model, you should also be able to upgrade to 4GB. If it's possible on the older models, it should be possible on this newer model as well.In Japan, the standard AR3700 model comes with 4GB of RAM already installed. I think that's more evidence that it's upgradeable.

straight from Acer's production description on their website2GB DDR3 1333 SDRAMthe box doesnt mention the speeds though

I ordered the 4GB of ram directly from the Crucial website. I ordered what they recommended for the 1201N. I think they use different part numbers than Amazon uses.Can't say that I noticed that much of a difference; but to be fair I upgraded the memory soon after I got it.

Alejandro My unit came with DDR3. There is room for a total of 16GB with two identical 8GB memory chips. My unit came with an 8 plus a 4, meaning that in order to fill both of the memory slots to capacity, the second chip would have to be totally removed and replaced with another 8GB DDR3.

Question: The bottom of my laptop doesn't say DDR2 or 3! It is a Toshiba NB505 but I got it in March so I'm thinking it is an older model of the 505?Anyone know if it's not on the sticker on the bottom how to tell?

Yes, DDR2 "Not" DDR3, while both are 240 pin, the locater slot on the memory chips are different.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

Desert50, How am I supposed to know? I just told the company what I had, a 2002 Dell GX280 destop. The first shippment were the wrong sticks so I sent them back. The second time they were right and my GX280 will take DDR2 or 3.

DDR2 memory requires an AM2 CPU.*DDR3 and DDR2 are supported separately.**DDR3 memory is only supported by installing AM3/AM3+ CPU.***Due to the operating system limitation, the actual memory size may be less than 4GB for the reservation for system usage under Windows® 32-bit OS. For Windows® 64-bit OS with 64-bit CPU, there is no such limitation.****DDR2 memory is only supported by installing AM2/AM2+/AM3 CPU.*****Support with AM3 / AM2+ CPU.http://www.asrock.com/mb/NVIDIA/N68C-GS%20FX/?cat=Specifications

Well, as far as I searched the internet, is the same memory. If you look on acer website you'll see that " Memory Technology DDR3 SDRAM ". I don't understood why Amazon showed diferente information. But I undestand that is the same memory type.

Hi,My RAM has a Hynix sticker with 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 and then there is a bar code below the text. On top of that stickers bar code there is another sticker saying 2GB, DDR2-800 VOID IF REMOVED.The RAM was immideatly by my HP Mini 2140 that said that it detected a new configuration with a 2.08GB RAM and wanted to know if I should save that configuration in the BIOS. So I did and the machine booted up nicely.No problem for me.BR Tomas

The listing is incorrect, it appears Amazon may have accidentally put the video RAM on there as there is 2GB of vRAM. There is 8GB (1x8GB) system RAM. We will bring this to their attention to get corrected.

Yep, amazon only carries the generic versions. Dont think Bestbuy will do it either, I tried and they only carry the generic ones too. If you want 16gigs of ram you will have to order it from Apple.

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

Both boarsd I ordered were rev 2.1, which claims to support DDR3-1333 memory. The box should say which memory types it supports though.I should mention though that I couldn't even get this board to POST, with either one I recieved. It seems to be VERY picky about your hardware configuration and would not boot no matter what I did. Your mileage may very, but just a heads up.

For some reason Crucial and Kingston just wouldn't narrow it down for me when I tried a few months ago. Never had that happen before, seems to be running fine now. I had a look at my old order from Amazon and it is identical to the 390 ram that is listed. Your only other question would be how much ram can your computer take. I have the Mini Tower (the large one) and it is maxed at 8 gigs of ram, 4 gigs per bank. Mine only had two gigs in it and I wanted to max it out. I don't remember what the other models are maxed at. I had to do a lot of online looking to find all this out as I was also looking for an updated video card so things get a little blurry.

Yes it is 2 X 4 GB, double channel 1866 DDR3, it does also come in 16GB packages (2 x 8 GB). Crucial is excellent RAM, and I am running two high-end computers with the 1866 Crucial, and it works awesome!
