What kind of thermal compound does it have? What kind of RAM and how many RAM slots can the motherboard handle (for futire upgrading)? Is the hard drive one 1TB or two 512MB?

I'm not aware of the thermal compound, but the computer has a total of 4 RAM slots (up to 32gb). 2 of the RAM slots are easily accessible from the back panel, but the other 2 would require you to disassemble the computer to access. By default, ASUS put two 4gb sticks in the internal slots and left the two on the bottom open for you to put in more. The ram for this machine is DDR3 1600 MHz SDRAM. It has one 1TB hard drive and an empty hard drive bay. Have a good day!

I can't actually answer your question (yet, going to install soon) however since the upgrade to 2gb (via two 1gb chips) is only around $30 here on amazon it seems silly not to upgrade.. also waiting on my memory so I'll post back with my experiences :)

4 slots. if you want to upgrade the ram, you need 2 of the chips to be low profile, otherwise all 4 wont fit under the HD enclosure. Imunning 16GB and it is very sweet.

The speed is 1.7Ghz ... the ram is 4Gb and the hard drive is 750Gb... is enough...

No https://www.google.com/shopping/product/259522134339097545/specs?num=100&safe=off&hl=en&site=webhp&q=Cooler+Master+Elite+130&oq=Cooler+Master+Elite+130&sa=X&ei=fZUIVO2vOIGvyATPyoKACw&ved=0CKoIELgv Here are the specification for that box = Mini ITX board only sorry great board Iam still using my first board I loved it so much I bought 2 more for backups. You'll need to do a search on Mini ITX or search for the a full size case. My advice would be to stay with good tech like asus My computer setup with one of the new solid state hard drives P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB Seagate Barracuda 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive - 2TB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA 6Gb/s ASUS GeForce GTX 550 Ti ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1G Video Card - 1GB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0(2)

SSD: of course. RAM: dunno at this point. Evidently there is an 8GB version, but they may have soldered onto the motherboard again.

There are 4 slots for RAM you will and you need to replace them in pairs. I hade the same problem 2 256K sticks for a total of 512K. To get to the 2GM maximum I bought 4 512K sticks of RAM and replace them all.

I kept a pdf of the original ad stating 2gb max. and would notify them you were misled that it was upgradeable. False advertising and marketing with most retail sites also had the memory chip being offered as a bundle for extra dough and usually advertised on same page.I had pre-ordered the u120 but after found out no memory upgrades possible, canceled before it shipped. I went with the u100-641(black) sata for future upgrading hd. Upgraded memory to 2gb and purchased a 9cell battery from hongkong, still came out cheaper than the 6cell wind.

Yes has four RAM slots total and two hdd slots total leaving room for expansion. Can go up to 32gb I believe. Better investment would be an ssd though . . .

Max RAM is 32GB, there are 4 RAM slots which support up to 8GB each. Yes you can upgrade the HDD or even better install a drive into the open secondary slot and keep the original HDD installed for storage.

Thank you for you reply.I guess I wasn't clear on what I was asking.Is the notebook upgradeable to 2 GB Ram? [it uses 200 pin 667,pc5300 memory] Is it hard or easy to open the case and get at the memory stick?Will it void my warranty? I'm afraid Crucial can't help me with these questions.

4 internal bays with caddies. Bios will support 6 HDD with unauthorized BIOS flash, and the extra 2 HDD can go in the 5 1/4 bays for DVD, etc. To add the 2 drives will take some expertise and extra cables, so I'll leave the details up to your web data mining prowess. It has 2 external USB 2.0 and 1 internal USB 2.0. Mine has 2 4TB WD and an SSD system disk. It runs Win7 and Ubuntu for me. Buy the memory upgrade to 8GB. No hardware problems at all - highly recommended. Not much in the way of graphics and fast CPU, but as a data or media server it is fine. It has 1@1 gig ethernet port, and can be remote booted (not tested by me). 4 internal bays with caddies.

The system memory is soldered to the logic board. It is not user upgrade able. The solid state drive is interchangeable/upgradeable.

It only has one RAM slot that is upgradable. I currently have an 8GB chip in it. So i believe the max is 10GB (the 2GB of built in RAM plus whatever the upgradable slot has in it). Hope this helps.

Pertaining to the first question, it has 4 slots for ram and I believe it's up to 32gb but you may be able to go higher. Secondly this is second biggest motherboard you can buy, when installing it on my tower which was a mid sized it fit nicely, I actually could fit a bigger one. To be safe look up dimensions. Hope this helped!

What type of speed are you looking for on your ram?When I was researching it said that up to 2400 MHz and Kingston hyper x ram was on sale for a pretty good deal. But if you are looking for looks and performance i would suggest the corsair deliminator platinum (they are rediciously expensive). But yes the motherboard will take both SSD and HDD I have a 2tb with two ssds in raid zero. Runs great!!. Hope this helps.

The motherboard has two (2) memory slots. Mine came with a 4GB module in the first memory slot, the other slot is empty.
