RAM Depending on the web site I look at, this model has 1GB ram, 2GB ram. Some say you can upgrade to 4 while others say the maximum is1. What's the real story?

There is only one useable slot. So 4GB is the max amount of memory. There is a spot on the motherboard where it "looks" like another socket could be wave soldered to the board for another SODIMM. However to my knowledge no one has tried wave soldering a socket to the motherboard and tried it. Wave soldering the socket would be very dicey, as the whole unit would need to be torn apart to do it, and special equipment would be needed.

with the 64bit OS Windows & Ubuntu Linux, I was able to install 8GB sinngle slot ram into it. No issues. Just make sure it is DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non-ECC). I bought a corsair.

There are many Acer Aspire One models, and they all vary in their hardware specifications and preinstalled operating system.The specific model of AO722-0473 comes with 2GB of RAM. You can easily upgrade to 4GB by removing the existing 2GB SODIMM and replacing it with a 4GB SODIMM.

For those of you interested in the successor model, the Acer Aspire One AO756 with Celeron processor has the same slide-forward, easy-off bottom panel for acces to RAM and hard drive for easy RAM upgrade and HD to SSD conversion. I just purchased the 2gb RAM, 320FB HD edition for $279 from Best Buy and added a second 2gb RAM module - lo and behold I discovered the mobo has 2 RAM slots! Didn't try going beyond 4 Gb though

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

This comes with 4G memory and will take 8G max. You can confirm this yourself, against the manual & the Lenovo web site. Sometimes you can get a computer to read more RAM than what the manual says, but don't count on it. Maybe someone here will post their experience if they have a method or trick. Also there are TWO memory slots (not 3). Configuration may vary slightly according to where you bought it, but most Lenovo's in this class come with two x 2G memory sticks. So you have to replace them *both* if you want to max this out at 8G memory. Some final info: * Currently the price is about $25-$30 for one 4G memory stick (standard DDR3L SDRAM) * Hold onto your old memory sticks, to have backup in case of surge, failure, etc. * If you suspect memory failure, most computer shops will test for free * This memory in this model is fairly simple to remove/upgrade yourself. Remove the battery, there are 3 screws on bottom compartment cover (to access memory & hard drive). That's all there is to it!

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

Yes the memory in this model can be upgraded. It comes with 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz and can be upgrade to 8gb. You should be able to find the memory here on Amazon.com. I would start by searching for ddr3 4gb 1600mhz laptop ram.

Hello, We are currently selling this model only as configured. If you'd like to upgrade the RAM for this model you can find memory upgrade kits from other vendors. The 4GB kits are currently running approximately $40-$60 from other vendors & the 8GB upgrade kits are currently priced around $89 - $110 from other vendors. To upgrade the RAM, you would need to replace the 2 existing memory modules. This model is officially capable of supporting up to 4GB maximum RAM; but third party vendors also sell 8GB upgrade kits for this model that reportedly work fine. This model has 2 memory slots and supports 1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SO-DIMMs. Thank you, Discount Macs

Mine came with 8 gigs of ram; two 4 gig sticks. There are 4 slots in this computer, two available. But...don't make the same mistake I made! This unit can handle 32 Gigs of ram, but Windows 7 home edition which is install on this computer can only handle 16 gigs of ram, so i wasted 16 gigs of memory which i installed on my computer. Windows 7 won't recognize the other 16 gigs. i need to upgrade to windows 7 professional, or windows 8

According to Dell, This model max RAM is 8 GB. Since 4GB already installed (2x2GB), you have to replace them instead add more, there is no slots for it. And yet, you have to install a 64 bit OS to be able to use any memory beyond 4GB. 4 GB is more than enough for the toy. that is my 2 cents.

Personally, for what I got this for, 4GB is way more than enough (it's not a gaming PC, though it can handle games on low-to-medium graphic settings). Apparently though, the RAM is soldered onboard. So while I'm not sure whether the motherboard can handle upgrades, it's probably quite a job if it's possible.

Hello Carlos, This laptop has 2 Memory slots and it can support RAM up to 8GB DDR3. Currently it has 1 slot occupied by a 4GB chip and the other slot is empty. Please let me know if you have any more questions! Sincerely, Rafael

As stated above, it initially has a 4GB and 2GB module installed. However it maxes out at 16GB RAM (8 x 2). You can use 1600MHz DDR3 RAM. I recommend the Crucial 16GB RAM kit from Amazon: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3L-1600 SODIMM Memory for Mac (CT2K8G3S160BM )

Yes, Ram can be upgraded to 4GB via standard SODIMM modules. 8GB is a possibility but needs to be confirmed but not much point going to 8gb at this stage.

The 6GB of ram is comprised of 1x4GB and 1x2GB, and is expandable up to 8GB by replacing the 2GB stick with a 4GB stick. Hope this helps.
