Hi there!

I have an Aspire 7552G-6851 laptop that is long past warranty, and I would like to get as much ram into it as possible. I'm trying to squeeze as much performance for gaming/editing programs out of it as possible.

I have found looking for compatible laptop ram difficult, at least this one as my laptop model is absent from any of the ram finders.

It currently has 6GB DDR3, and I have no idea of the slot # or configuration, or where to look for upgrade ram.

I feel confident I can upgrade the ram in this machine, even if it means pulling the laptop apart. From what I can see, it is accessible through a panel on the bottom however.

If anyone can help me find a source for the highest amount of compatible ram, and enlighten me on the configuration that would be great!

Thanks

EDIT: Here is a scan result using the scan tool from crucial: http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/scanview/6C1BFDAF31D926C3

EDIT 2: This result says I have 2 banks, but that doesn't make sense to me because I have 6GB installed. Do they make 3GB sticks?

EDIT 3: Upon further inspection, by removing the bottom panel, I have found I indeed have 3 memory banks (good job, crucial scan tool /sarcasm) with 2GB in each.
The info on the modules is:

Hynix:

KN2GB0G016023AFDF8 2000 (not sure if some of these are O or 0)

2GB 2Rx8 PC3 - 10600S - 9 - 10 - F2

HMT125S6TFR8C - H9 N0 AA - C 1017

How do you know you need more RAM? What programs do you use? What CPU and GPU does the laptop have? I don't want you to waste money on more RAM like many people do when they don't need it. 6GB is usually sufficient for a laptop.

You are fine with the ram you have for gaming. video edit and such loves ram and that notebook will take up to three sticks of 4gbs of ram for a total of 12gb. When you flip it over and take the memory access cover off, you will see the third slot under the rear stick of ram.

Thanks, yeah I found I had 3 slots.

When I buy more ram, what do I need to be looking for? 3x4GB PC 10600? 10600S? Anything else?

Also, where did you find specs for this laptop? I have been searching for hours and can't find any detailed info.
