increasing ram on Aspire one D250: What type of ram do I need to buy to increase from 1 to 2?

Depends on which D250 you have. Go to Crucial's website and let their software scan your pc. In some (many?) D250 models (-1197 for sure) the max recognized RAM is 1.5GB and Crucial only recommends a 1GB stick. At best, you wouldn't get the full benefit of a 2GB stick.

I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

I was wondering the same thing . . . and can you just add a 1GB chip in that additional slot?? We have one arriving today -- so I'll check out the documentation.

1 stick with 2GB. I actually got two sticks for 4GB in total to update my laptop. I've had no issues so far.

This memory is for enterprise servers, not normal desktops or laptops. Buy any from this link- you want DDR2 667 speed ram to be safe: http://m.newegg.com/ProductList?description=oDXOOTjWHHYJ1sk4rVPAuA%253d%253d&store;id=1&categoryid;=-1&nodeid;=7611&storetype;=2&subcategoryid;=147&brandid;=-1&nvalue;=100007611&showseealldeals;=False&itemcount;=0&issubcategory=true&level;=3&Speed;%7C%7CDDR2+667+%28PC2+5300%29=600006082%7C%7C100007611+600006098

I upgraded mine with the Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory (CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9). I'm sure that the equivalent Kingston product will work just as well.

I have replaced my one gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick of ram. Hope that helps.

You can expand your Ram to up to 16 GB, this Notebook carries DDR3 memory which comes in increments of 2, 4, 8. Which can be installed in two sticks.

As long as your notebook can take a PC2-5300 memory card, the 2 GB should work. If you have Windows XP or higher, adding the extra 1 gb. of memory should help increase the notebooks overall speed. That would be especially true if you have vista or Windows 7. I believe Windows Vista and 7 require a minimum of 2 GB of RAM. Hope that answers your question Lou

If you go to crucial.com and type in the type of laptop you have. It will display the types of RAM best suited for your laptop.

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.

If you mean the factory stick of RAM (2GB) that came with the laptop: brand name... SHARETRONIC DDRIII 1600; other numbers... SM321NH08IAF. If you mean what sticks can be used as upgrade memory... the first responder (James N) has it correct. Would recommend 2 x 4GB (204 pin SODIMM) sticks for optimum performance.

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.

According to what I read, you need DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) up to 2 gb per SODIMM.

According to ASUS specs this should be an 8 gb max ram while retailing at 4gb. It is true that the two available slots are occupied. However, that should not stop one from upgrading by replacing the 2gb x 2 to 4gb x 2. I have ordered one and have talked to asus tech support which says it is possible and the complete line up has an 8gb max by default
