You can upgrade one Memory Slot with a 2G 200-pin SODIMM DDR2 PC2-6400 from Crucial (for 56.99); this will give you 3 GB memory -- the max for Windows XP Home edition.

better answer after looking at the screw schematic, there's no easy way to upgrade the memory or storage. That's because the battery is hidden away inside the case, and there's no access panel for removing parts for repair or upgrade.

I never had to go to the BIOS the ram upgrade was fine and showed in properties.And it was much easier to do than with my Acer One.

This upgrade will work without issue, XP has a limit of addressing between 3 and 3.5GB of memory so this 2GB will be fully recognizable

I can't find anything specific regarding upgrading the memory, so my guess is that the memory can't be upgraded.

My suggestion is do a search on your make and model on both the H-P website and Tom's Hardware (http://www.tomshardware.com/). I invariably find what I need to know on Tom's site or the manufacturer's. I'm assuming you either have the machine's manual or have downloaded it in PDF format. It should definitely tell you all about your memory and upgrading the same. Hope this helps...

The easiest way I've found is go to your search engine and type in the make and model of your device followed by memory upgrade instructions. You'll go to a host of instruction sites.

This laptop's memory can be increased to 8GB if you need to run programs requiring more resources than this unit provides as is...http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Acer/aspire-es1-511-c59v

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

Depends on the memory you're talking about! The RAM, no. It's soldered right to the mother board, so unless you're a wicked computer magician (and maybe not even then...) that's not happening. The HDD, yes. In fact, I found a nice tutorial about making the switch here: &lt;http://www.durhamcomputerservices.com/theonbutton-blog/asus-vivobook-x202e-s200e-q200e-ssd-hard-drive-upgrade.html&gt;. Looks pretty painless, and having put a SSD in my notebook I'll say that the performance gain is just as noticeable if not more so than upgrading the RAM.

I have the ASUS Eee PC 1005PEB-RBLU01S - I am also interested in upgrading the RAM - am interested in any all information - the good, the bad, the ugly....

The acer you have has a maximum capacity of 2 GB. The computer comes with an "onboard" 512 that is soldered to the MB - and it doesn't look like ordinary ram sticks. Also there is only one Memory slot. If you wish to speed it up, I would add a 1 GB stick of ddr 667 (PC2-5300). If it is still running Vista, get someone to upgrade it to Windows 7 for you, remove all hog software (Norton and McAfee are hogs) use Avast or AVG for virus protection. Hope this helps

I wish that I could answer this with 100% confidence, but I can't. I'm guessing that you won't have any issues as it has all of the proper timings and settings. The install is very easy, so I would just try it out. Do give the system plenty of time to boot. First time I booted with the new memory, I "freaked out" a bit thinking that the system wasn't going to boot - AGAIN - with a memory upgrade. I had tried some other memory that I had laying around.... that was a flop! It did boot, it just seemed to take a bit longer than the first time. Good luck!

On the bottom edge of the monitor, between the speakers, there is a panel held in with a screw. Under this panel are two slots for Ram. You can upgrade it up to 16 GB max. It takes about 15 minutes. I bought mine here on Amazon. If you have the new version that came out in 2013 with the thinner monitor and no hard drive, then you have to take the monitor apart.

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.
