Is the new ASPIRE 1GB RAM Model expandable?? Does this use up the internal RAM Expansion Slot or will we be able to add more memory should we choose to void our warranty??

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.

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

There appears to be conflicting opinions as to whether 2Gigs of memory will improve performance with this netbook. I was just about ready to order the upgrade until reading these comments.Has anyone here upgraded and if so can you say for sure that it has sped things up at all? I actually just called Acer tech support and was told that the Acer Aspire One A0532h-2588, cannot be upgraded to 2GB. So I don't know what to believe now.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

Aspire one AO756-2868Share On:facebooktwittergoogleplusAll ModelsOverviewDatasheetReviewsCommentsRelated I believe its 1.4GH..... It's pretty fast. I love mine and it's light as a feather. Full windows 7 Premium 64 bit. 4GB memory. I have 3 laptops and this one is the best out of all of them. Full size keyboard really comfortable. Hope this helps.

No, from what I read before purchasing, the memory is soldered to the motherboard. It's a great laptop, but honestly, if you NEED 8gigs, you should probably be looking into a different laptop anyway. I can't imagine anything you might use this laptop for anything that would require more ram given that the processor wouldn't really be suited best for those types of computer work.

I have finally been able to install the 2GB RAM with my ASUS 1000HE turning on but I have the same problem with the system not showing the added RAM.Nothing happens when I pressF2 as you did.Can someone please advise me? I'd really be grateful.

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.

I have not looked into the upgrade of ram as of yet. Strong laptop from what I have seen so far. Battery is built in. I ran the laptop w/o being plugged in and got about 6.5 hrs of use on the battery life. Hope this helps.

From my review: This laptop has a maximum memory of 8GB with 2 memory slots, one of which comes empty from factory, so I also purchased a 4GB memory upgrade for this laptop (approx $40). Product ordered was: Kingston 4GB 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1600 Laptop Memory Model KVR16S11/4; works great! It comes with 4 GB (1 slot), so just added another 4 GB (2nd slot); in product description, it states supports a maximum of 8 GB total. Hope that helps ...

The motherboard has four memory slots. Only one is filled. Presumably this means that, yes, you can add more. This is NOT a quarantee that it will work. Of course the ASUS uwarranty says breaking the warranty seal on the case (by removing the side cover to do things such as add memory) will void the warranty. From their website: " The warranty will not apply to or be valid under conditions including but not limited to the following:.... c) The product warranty seals have been broken or altered."

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

I asked the customer service when it's going to be available and this is what I got:"I apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but at this time "Acer Aspire One 8.9-inch Mini Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, XP Home, 6 Cell Battery) White " is unavailable to us and we're not sure if we'll be able to obtain it in the future."Wow they are not even sure if they are going to get it yet...

There are 2 open memory slots under the access cover. I was able to upgrade it to 32GB of RAM with no trouble at all.

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.

Yes you can upgrade the memory. If I were to upgrade mine I would use Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 or CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9. The Acer Aspire V5 471P has 2 slots and a max total memory of 8GB.

Unfortunately, we don't know. The ASUS website is unclear as to the maximum RAM supported by the BIOS. Beyond that, we also need to remember that the laptop comes with the 32-bit Windows XP, supporting a max of 4GB of RAM, and only showing 3.5 (32-bit architecture limitation).
