Being able to upgrade to 64GB is insane for a $202 PC!
It maxes out at 32GB, 2x16GB sticks. Crucial's memory config site confirms it.

So, Google gave me the wrong link on Crucial's website, and I don't trust some random Youtuber's info to be right.

Official sources:

Acer's product page says: Maximum Memory Supported 32 GB https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/con....BH7AA.001

Intel has a page for this unit too, also says 32GB: https://www.intel.com/content/www...tions.html

Kingston's (UK) memory site says 32GB: https://www.kingstonmemoryshop.co...92-desktop

The ONLY other site (that's not a random Youtuber) I've seen that says 64GB is supported is here: https://www.memorystock.com/memor...GUW92.html

Also, that Youtube link doesn't show 64GB being installed and ran in the system, so it cannot be verified by them that it works. He only upgraded to 16GB in his video.

Now, feel free to get 64GB and see if it works and prove me and all the other sites above wrong, but I highly doubt it's going to work.

I don't think many of us getting this PC will spend 250 dollars for 64 ram! Smilie
Thanks for posting the links. I did show my link and you showed your links.
Since neither of us are going to spend 250 dollars on 64gb ram, maybe someone will post if they did try 64gb.
32gb (16x2) is the logical upgrade from 16gb(8x2). So safe bet is 32gb.
We both gave our understanding, and your links are very sound. Good Job.

p.s. The only reason I would think 64gb is correct is because Acer says comes with 8gb and max is 32gb ... is if I put just one stick of 32gb in PC, which Acer says is max, would it work?, I would think so, right? So 32x2 is logical if both slots are used.

That logic sounds good to me, if 1 32GB stick works (which, I don't have handy to test...) then 2 should work.

Little bit apples and oranges here, but this Asus motherboard (also a B560 chipset) supports up to 128GB with it's 4 slots: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboa.../techspec/

So, maybe this Acer will too, it's hard to say for 100% certain without trying, and as you stated, I also don't have $250 to test the theory laugh out loud

Seems to be plenty for most people. Limited options if you want a GPU.

You might could get a Dell 7060 I5 with six cores for a similar price. It has more ports if you need that but DP instead of HDMI. Just stay gen 8 or higher for Windows 11.
Does the Dell 7060 give me more options for a GPU? Something much beefier than a low profile gfx card?

If you get the Mini Desktop like I did it has four slots full size. No PSU wires so it is still limited but technically you could plug in two cards. It also has room for two 2.5" HD's and a 3.5" one. You would have to do more research I do not plan to do a good GPU as I will just use it for basic computing. Some of them come with HDMI 2.0 as well but those are rare. There is a plug for one on the MB but finding the adapter would be difficult.

10th gen cpu. This would make a great Plex server. Easily handle multiple 4k h.265 streams, transcodes, HDR, etc. Run Ubuntu on it, scrap the windows install.

Likely going to be replacing my Plex media server with this system. Transcoding full bitrate 4k streams will be no problem? If so, how many in parallel?


Curious, this one comes out to $263 after the discount. From what it appears it has a bigger HD and slightly lower CPU clock speed. Anyone purchase this one?

Only comes with 1 ODD power connector and 1 HDD power connector, you have to spend over $20 to get a tiny power cable that connects to the motherboard to get 2 more, what a joke.

Looks like can be upgraded to Windows 11, but I'm not seeing any prices near this one for REFURBISHED with a 2 year warranty. How much did you pay for your 7060? Did you buy a USED one?
