Adding more RAM? Has anyone added more RAM to the AOA150-1784?

Yes, cracked case,pulled 512 card and added new 1gig card and swapped the wireless card with a wireless n intel card. Cracking the case is not for the feight of heart. You tube has several AAO instruction videos. Go slow, keep screws organized and use a new mini screwdriver. Vista (did that upgrade last month) fired up as before; aerthos wireless card drops are gone.

48GB RAM = 4GB x 12 Slot. The problem is, it might only run dual channel if you use a lot of RAM.

When you upgraded, did you use 1-2gb stick or 2-1gb sticks?Does the 904ha come with 2-512's, or 1-1gb?Can anyone also recommend a particular model/brand of RAM to buy along with the laptop. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

I have no idea if it has additional slots for more RAM, check with Dell.............

You, Sir, are awesome! This AO522 will accept a 4GB DDR3 DIMM and with N Tan's x64 driver package you can install Windows 7 Pro (or even Ultimate) x64!! Amazing performance from then on!

How much Ram do you have in your machine? What is the Processor speed. That would play a factor as well.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

All you can do is try it, the Acer website also lists the AO725 as having max 4GB, but I'm running these 8GB SODIMM' in both of mine. And even the memory finder sites like crucial won't list it as a possibility for my AO725 either. A quick search on google shows that others are running this in your laptop, but I don't have any personal experience with that model.

I run Windows7 and have not had a problem. As to if it will take more Ram ask Acer

See what type of RAM stick your computer has and match it to that. That is what I did when I upgraded to 2GB, also find out what is the maximum ram your computer can handle and upgrade it to that. Hope this helps you.

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide. Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round. also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

That combination is NOT listed in the manual as officially supported. This is the only 8GB supported RAM listed, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233271

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.
