Is there only one RAM stick? My wife’s C710 has 2 GB of RAM and I have two spare 2 GB sticks. I assumed that the C710 had two 1 GB sticks. Is this incorrect? Are two 2 GB sticks not going to help?

I believe the C710 comes with a single stick of RAM preinstalled, but there are two slots there. So if you have the correct type of RAM, you should be good to go. One installs right on top of the other.

Acer and Crucial insist that 4 GB is maximum ram, but I’ve successfully installed 12 GB and I’ve read reports on the web of 16 GB. It uses the same memory as my 2012 Mac Mini, (my source for the additional RAM) Adding a SSD will make this a powerful machine indeed. The main limitation is that although it will run the (aging) Chrubuntu (an Ubuntu install running on the Chrome kernel), it will not dual boot with linux. The firmware needs to be flashed in order to install a newer linux distro (Gallium OS or a specialized Mint 18), and this will effectively end it’s ability to run Chrome (although I beleive the firmware can be re-flashed so as to return it to Chrome OS .)
