I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my Aspire5100. I did a search for the correct memory and found an Amazon link that sold the upgrade as.
"2GB RAM Memory Upgrade for the Acer Aspire 5100, 5315, 5515 and 5516 Notebook Laptops (DDR2-667, PC2-5300, SODIMM)"
I placed the order and received the memory today. The stick I found in the box is labeled,
"DDR2 800MHz 200-pin PC2-6400 SODIMM"
I did another search that showed that the PC2-6400 memory I received is correct for the Aspire 5516 but everything I find shows the PC2-5300 as the correct memory for my 5100. I'm very confused because almost all of the sites I've found sell the memory, as the Amazon link did, as being compatible for all 4 notebooks.
Did they just send me the wrong memory? I'm afraid to try to install it for fear that I'll mess something up that I don't have the skills to fix. Any information about computer memory upgrades would be appreciated. Thanks
