We certified the offered 16GB memory upgrades for Aspire V5-171 Notebook. For this reason, we ensure the compatibility of the memory. Just like the original accessories, our Notebook RAM can additionally be integrated next to existing memory or used as spare parts for your system. Following the specifications and instructions of Acer the memories can be easily used next to each other with different capacities and from a variety of different manufacturers. In exceptional cases, we point out special instructions.

Please note that the values indicated in the item description, for example those concerning the speed rates and timings, are for your information only. These are the minimum technical specifications by Acer. For our modules we always use the most current and fastest DRAMs. That means, that we typically provide memory modules that allow an even higher timing than neccessary for your system.

Regardless of whether you are Acer Notebook- User, resell your computer, install or operate your system - as a competent partner we advise you in every matter with regard to memory.

It's good to know that installing CompuRAM memory as accessories or spare parts for your V5-171 Notebook has no influence on the manufacturer's warranty – most of the manufacturers refer to this explicity in their warranty conditions. With appropriate handling of the hardware upgrade interfaces or slots, your warranty claim remains valid.

By the way: The Notebook RAM modules normally originate from the same production process of the manufacturer, just like the so-called original memory of the system manufacturer.

Please note: If your Acer notebook can be upgraded with more than 4GB, you need a 64-Bit operating system in order to take advantage of the actual capacity.

With reference to older systems, it can occur that the operating system just works with parts of the installed memory due to resource-related issues. Any concerns related to technical background information or potential upgrade possibilites are indicated in our blog article "When the operating system shows less usable memory capacity...".

If the maximum RAM upgrade - 16GB - we specify for the Aspire V5-171 notebook is greater than the figure specified by Acer, this means that we have intentionally revised the figure upwards. The background to this is explained in our blog post ‘Maximise the maximum?’.
