    I HAVE JUST PURCHASED AN Acer Aspire AS5250-BZ853 LX.RJY02.024 Notebook PC - AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.60GHz, 2GB DDR3, 320GB HDD, DVDRW, 15.6" Display, Windows 7 Home pREMIUM. Sorry about the cap locks, was offered a 4G ram memory module as an aside. I didn't buy it as I am not sure how to install it. The price was like $28.00, is it worth it and is it a big deal to install, I have installed several items into a desktop system (hard drives, sound blasters, dvd players, etc ) but am completely unaware of laptop design/configuration.Any help greatly appreciated.T.I.A

    what are you using the laptop for? is easy to install the ram as it is installed in 1 of the covered bays on bottom of laptop. you might have 1x2gig stick or 2x1gig stick installed already so will need to know what you have before buying new ram.
