Does it comes with a extra slot to add ram or I have to replace the current ram? And how difficult is it to open the back to get to the ram?

Dear soumik: you have to replace the generic ram and it would be able to upgrade up to 8Gb 1333 Mhz ( http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4005071&isFromTOC;Link=false). Second to tear apart is relative what is easy or hard for you, anyways here a link with a small tutorial (http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Toshiba/SATELLITE~C55-A5105/) I hope this would help.

This laptop is garbage so I dont use it. My best answer is don't waste your money on it.

Hello, We are the manufacturer of this computer and would be glad to assist with your questions! The computer does not have the ability to add a second hard drive to it due to the form factor being so tight. The maximum RAM that can be installed is 32GB on 4x 8GB sticks. There are slots currently available, however any expansion slots such as a video card will require a low profile bracket.

I found this YouTube video very helpful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO-Z7y9Ge4g. You can see exactly what needs to be done, where to find the parts and what to expect. Adding the RAM is a great low-cost enhancement to this nifty little computer.

IMHO, a safe and easy way to upgrade the RAM is to follow the approach of using a credit card in conjunction with a Philip's screwdriver, as in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xKSpW3q0GY Be aware that upgrading the RAM pretty much voids your warranty. That said, it was actually quite simple and I upgraded to 1.5GB. Tips: 1. Make sure there is plenty of light, and go slow and deliberate. You don't want to lose any screws inside the AA1. 2. Use two credit-cards instead of one when working on the keyboard. Use one credit card to push the tabs and with the other hand use a second credit card to get underneath the keyboard to push it up. (NOTE: DO NOT force anything!) 3. It is NOT necessary to disconnect the LCD display connector. You can get to the RAM socket underneath the motherboard after unscrewing the LAN card, motherboard and daughterboard.

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.

It has a single 204-pin SODIMM slot for RAM, so it can be expanded if you're tech-savvy. However, you'll have to discard the 2GB DIMM that comes in it because there's only one slot. I believe the SSD can also be upgraded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

I only saw 2 slots when I added a RAM card. Crucial.com says 8gb, so I only added another 4gb card. I haven't tried anything higher, though.

Yes I believe you can add more ram to it. I don't even use this computer anymore so I am unsure of what size ram it has but I have added ram to other computers before.

It uses laptop form factor SO-DIMM RAM. It can be upgraded to 8GB, but you would have to removed the 4GB module and replace it with an 8GB. There is no second slot.

Sorry, I haven't opened the case except for the battery. There is a large panel on the bottom side roughly under the touchpad area that could be unscrewed and might contain the ram slots.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

Hello, There are 2 memory slots. You can install another 4GB module in the second slot. Best regards, Amuras

The ram compartment is the smaller panel marked ddr (the other is the hard disk). undo the screw. the panel is a bit difficult - you have to pry a bit - don't force. it comes off. Ram is fairly simple to insert. there are enough videos on the web...

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.

I thought the new ones that come with the 1 GB ram have an easy to access ram "window" on the bottom of the computer case. Is that not right?I've been told the upgrade now is very easy, but would like to confirm that... Just pop the little cover off on the bottom of the case and pop the old card out and snap the new one in. Yes?
