Acer Aspire 7738(g) Laptop. Can it be upgraded past 4gb?

[katelynn.b.wallace]

I have an old Acer Aspire 7738(g) that my mom returned to me. I decided to look at the specs because I couldn't remember how much ram was on here.

I looked up the max amount of ram you can use on the laptop. Only 4gb... That seems much too little, so I looked around and saw that people managed to get their 7738s to run 8gb. Huh.

So, can I really get 8gb to work on my laptop? Has anyone else got this to work?

these links say 4gb max.
