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 added another 4 gb to bring it to 8 gb. Before the upgrade laptop would crash when I opened too many windows. Since the upgrade, laptop has not crashed. It has an open slot to easily add the memory.

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.

I also upgraded to 3 GB because I had some extra RAM that fit. I would like the full 4 GB, but 3 GB works well.

I added RAM on mine - 2 gig because it only had two slots. Not sure when it maxes out, but that probably would be determined by what sort of chip it is. I'm sure you can research that online.

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.

It comes with 8 GB of RAM. Not sure if you can upgrade it but for me 8 was enough. I hope that helps.

yes,but you need to add RAM. see my review on the 14th and i recommend avoiding this company.

Sorry for not having the answer. I haven't added more RAM, but I need to do it. I will check it soon and I will let you know.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

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.

Make sure that your ram isn't too tall... I had a tiny bit of space if any using my new Adata ram

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.

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.
