Acer Aspire 5102

I was wanting to upgrade my RAM another 512 but I have no idea what I am doing. I have 1 512 in there already but I do not know what I need to purchase to add another. I am not a computer guy. Thanks for your help.

Go here: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php and download CPU-z.

Run the CPU-z program, click on the memory tab, and either tell us what it says or post a screen shot so we can help you pick the right RAM out.

We should still varify that, and find out the speed he has in there right now.
