Correct Memory For Acer One D255

ahll

I have just bought an Acer Aspire One D255 with N550 processor and I want to upgarde the memory from 1GB to 2GB

I believe I need DDR5

and I have found Crucial memory 2GB DDR3 1333MHz SODIMM waht seems like a good price. Can anyone confirm that this memory with be fine and not cause and compatibility problems ?

This is the link to the memory I have found

Memory Link

I found the link to the crucial site which had a great facility for telling you what memory is compatible for your device so I ordered it from them, even got a better price and free delivery. Just got to get good instructions now to fit the new memory :0)


The Sounds

Just as an aside the sounds on the netbook does seems to be very loud when I have got it on full. Does anyone know anyway I can get better sound out of it...unless I was in a really quiet room I would struggle to hear what was being said on a DVD. Any help greatly received :0)

The One D255 uses DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) 200-PIN SODIMM, and no other one can used, so unfortunately the one you have chosen is not compatible, as it is DDR3 and 204 pin

The One D255 has one slot so you will need to remove the single 1Gb stick and replace it with a single 2Gb stick

Lambda tek do that stick for around £25 inc P&P

The Acer website says to use SIW or pcwizard to find memory spec (!!!) - so they must be chucking all sorts into the different models !
