Aspire 7552G-6851 Ram Upgrade

[conv0luted]

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.

CPU is Phenom II Black Edition X4 X920 (2.3GHz)
GPU is ATI Radeon HD5650 Mobility

I want more ram for gaming, PS, Protools, Maya and AutoCAD

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.

ddr3-12800. the speed wont really be noticable in gaming but in larger edits it will.
Crucial has them for $40 each. http/www.crucial.com/usa/en/aspire-7552g/CT5296870
