Yo, quick question. If my PC has 8gb memory (2x 4gb) and has 2 empty slots. I should be able to add 2 more 4gb sticks without a problem right?

depends on what the motherboard supports

12:30am
Ricky Pine
is there a way to quickly look that up?

12:30am
Jed Dolbeer
model number and brand of your motherboard

12:30am
Ricky Pine
been years since I've done all this
http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/specs-ipimb-ar-7h27292011/
says max 16gb, look right?

12:38am
Jed Dolbeer
if that's what it says

12:41am
Ricky Pine
says acer inc. IPIMB-AR REV:1.02A to be exact
Do you have a sec to make sure I have the right one?
Don't feel like making my computer explode

12:45am
Jed Dolbeer
i have no idea what the right one is Rickyu
I can't see your motherboard

12:45am
Ricky Pine
Ah, well figured you could look it up by the info I gave you

12:46am
Jed Dolbeer
i mean, you have way more info than i do

12:46am
Ricky Pine
I have the same info you have lol. Ya I can see what would fit visually

12:46am
Jed Dolbeer
i have 0 information. you have the computer lol

12:47am
Ricky Pine
I just gave you the motherboard info
which is what you said I needed
Assuming I'm correct and 16gb is max, if I don't go over the max and the memory "fits" the slot, are there any other factors to be concerned about

12:48am
Jed Dolbeer
what i would do if i had the brand and model number of the MB, is look up the specs and check what it said was the max amount of ram
you did that already

12:49am
Ricky Pine
agreed, was just wondering if you could take 30 seconds and confirm my reading of the information gathered.
Sorry I asked

12:49am
Jed Dolbeer
was just saying that it's a very simple and finite problem to be solved. that page you linked me to is extremely short. only 1 possible answer there

12:50am
Ricky Pine
Again I agree
IMO there is nothing wrong about asking a 2nd opinion
Yes, you can't see the MB

12:51am
Jed Dolbeer
second opinion on what lol. it clearly states that the max amount of ram is 16gb. you really want me to double check that?

12:51am
Ricky Pine
It's strange, most people ENJOY when they get asked questions.
Sure, why not

12:51am
Jed Dolbeer
you do realize that i do this EVERY day
right

12:51am
Ricky Pine
takes 30 seconds to be like, ya it looks like 16gb max
lol
Because I ask you one question every 2 years

12:52am
Jed Dolbeer
that's not even close to the point
but whatever

12:52am
Ricky Pine
I'm so sorry for the hindrance on your life!

12:52am
Jed Dolbeer
did i say it was?
no. i was just simply saying that you were fully capable of doing everything you asked me, on your own.

12:53am
Ricky Pine
yes, all very good points. Well understood. I shall not ask you anymore "obvious" questions.
