Adding more RAM? Has anyone added more RAM to the AOA150-1784? If so, how did you do it, and what type should I buy? Thanks for any info.

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.

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?

What about the nc20... basically an nc10, but with a 12.2" screen? Newegg already has it, I hope Amazon will follow. It is 1G RAM standard, bu expandable to 2G and same 160G HD.

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?

Yo I own this comp, its expandable to 8gb ddr 3 ram. I tend to like kingston but im still a noob to such things

Seth, there too many to list. What is your goal in asking this? Do you have a motherboard that you want to get this memory for, or do you have this memory, and are trying to find a motherboard to put with it? If the latter, maybe you could specify your requirements... i.e. Price is most important, or performance, or best gaming for the buck, etc.

How do you open it to add memory? I have had this for about 3 days, and it seems to work well, but my wife complains it is too slow on her farmville mega-ranch :) There is no documentation or anything at the acer site. The owners manual just says to "take out screws", but I only see one visible screw in the bottom. I removed it, but nothing came apart. It seems to be a nice PC, removed all the free-software and it runs everything well so far. It is also so small and quiet.Any help would be appreciated.

Will it work? Yes. Perfectly fine? No. Why will it work? Because of Asrock's page for that motherboard which says Supports FSB1333/1066/800/533 MHz CPUs Supports Dual Channel DDR3 1333(OC) . Now for the not so perfect. First lets cover OC. I don't know your level of experience so I I have to cover the basics too. OC stands for over-clock. The overclock of those memory modules is done in your BIOS(setup) when you first turn on the computer . You can navigate there with Delete(usually) or F2. They will otherwise run @ 1066MHz because the Amazon page says F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL. It's a simple variable change in your BIOS. Nothing challenging. Will you get the full 8GB? Absolutely not. A 32bit Win 7 can handle a maximum of about 3.5GB but when I used these babies in my beast of a computer, BEFORE I upgraded to a 64bit OS my computer could only utilize 2GB. Your experience will vary, 8GB for for almost $80??? I spent under $60. You can upgrade to a more modern 64bit OS and the computer will automatically use the rest of the ram but you may need to adjust your memory speeds again after you upgrade or install to a more appropriate version. There are only 2 DIMM slots so no worries with installation issues.

Thanks for the news. One more thing, is it just me or is my computer running slower with my 2gb 667 ram as opposed to the 1gb 800 ram? It seems like it is.Thanks again.

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.

Good question.I bought the same PC, just a step down though. The one that I purchased came pre-installed with 6GB of RAM. Amazon claimed 8GB was the max. I upgraded with no problem.From the experience I've had with Amazon, they're good about providing the correct information in the product description (I've only seen one instance where it wasn't). IMO you shouldn't have any trouble with upgrading.Hopefully this helps.

Can anyone provide the link for the RAM? I don't know much about computers in general and I don't want to buy the wrong ram...Thanks in advance!

RAM cannot be added on the model I bought. That's the one reason I returned mine. It was a very nice machine otherwise.

Dear customer,1. The amount of installing RAM have to be min. 4 GB if the OS is Windows 7 or 8. Better is 6 or 8 GB RAM, but it depend from the Mother Board.2. If the PC is old there is dust inside. You have to clean the contact points before adding the new RAM. Practically, the handy way is to plug in and remove several times the RAM in the socket places. I hope then the PC will start normaly! Success!

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Everything I've read says you can't upgrade the RAM on the U120. I had just ordered it and haven't received it yet. I hope I won't regret not being able to add RAM. I researched as much as my mind could handle when I ordered this. I liked the light weight and the decent screen size and the brightness. It's all very confusing. Now there is a U120H. I don't know what the H has and why it's different. Better connectivity I've been told. Anyone know what this means? I don't want to have buyer's remorse. Sigh...it's all too much!

Eager to know if works! I too am thinking of expanding. If it does work, please share the Ram manufacturer and specs. Thanks.

Anybody know if you can use DDR3 RAM 1066 MHz; like they use on the all the other UL series (UL30, UL80 with the SU7300) with the same processors. It would be faster and use less power.
