251813 2004-07-12 09:21:00 Hello Folks,

I've just bought an older Acer Extensa 503DX laptop in great condition. All I need now is a little more ram and it will be nigh on perfect for the purposes I bought it for.
It presently has a 32bit ram and I want to upgrade it to at least 128 (or more).

I was wondering if the ram slots are universal, or do I have to locate and purchase Acer memory card(s)?

Can anybody help?

From memory it was PC66, SD RAM but unsure of the form factor.

If its SODIMM module type, you may get some PC133 to work

Try somewhere like Dick Smith Electronics. They have 64 MB sticks for $35
(Catalog XH8012)
Look on their site and see if it looks the same?

If it is, they can use non acer ram since I fitted toshiba ram in 5 of them (128 megs each)
and by the way, it made stuff all difference. They still ran like gutted dogs.
The only noticeable difference was fast screen refresh.

251816 2004-07-12 13:17:00 Thanks, I'll have a look at the Dick Smith site. benelailax (5738)
251817 2004-07-12 13:19:00 Yea, it is a MMX (not sure of number) running Windows 98.
Sorry to hear that your upgrade made little difference.
