Does anyone know where the 2nd RAM memory slot is located? If it is under the keyboard, like I suspect, does anyone know how to remove the keyboard? After more research, I found that the RAM is supposed to be under a cover on the bottom of the machine. There is only 1 slot where there is supposed to be 2.

Fred888. Thank you SO MUCH for your advice. Your tech writing is just what I needed to install the ram. I had the computer all packed up and ready to go to a service place tomorrow when I came back to this site and read your instructions. The "45 degree angle," and "the metal contacts of the ram should disappear from view," are the extra instructions that I needed. The video I watched on how to install the ram just didn't go into that detail. Again, many thanks.Kay

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.

Turn the lock on the bottom of your macbook and pop out the battery. Under the battery you should be able to find the factory installed RAM with a simple locking mechanism that differs for each model, there should be picture instructions showing how to pop those old cards out and replace them with the new ones, exactly as they were arranged. There are probably 4 slots arranged like so: AB CD The 2 new RAM sticks will work @ maximum potential in slots A and B (There might only be A and B anyway). ALSO BE SURE YOU ARE GROUNDED, don't do it on the carpet or else you'll completely fry your new RAM and/or hard drive to death with the static. Serious business. If you don't know how to ground yourself, look that up first.

Question: The bottom of my laptop doesn't say DDR2 or 3! It is a Toshiba NB505 but I got it in March so I'm thinking it is an older model of the 505?Anyone know if it's not on the sticker on the bottom how to tell?

I used 2 in a hp 6910p, one under the keyboard, one in slot accessed from bottom of laptop. They worked well, but had to be sure they were fully inserted into the slot. Do you only have 1 slot? Remove 1gb strip and replace with 2gb strip. Good luck.

You can add RAM however two of the slots are under the keyboard, after hours of chat and phone calls with Asus I still don't know how to install the RAM.

there is only one empty slot there, so what you should do is buy only one RAM, the bigger the better. And personally I think if you have some extra money buy a new SSD will be good, the HDD is really slow.

32gb RAM as far as I can tell from the manual, but apparently two slots are under the keyboard and difficult to get to.

Yup, you just have to buy the two 8GB ram sticks and replace the two 4GB ram sticks currently in the computer. However, there are only 2 RAM slots, so you wont be able to have four 4GB sticks, but instead 2 8GB RAM sticks

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.

Hi, My RAM has a Hynix sticker with 2GB 2Rx8 PC2-6400S-666-12 and then there is a bar code below the text. On top of that stickers bar code there is another sticker saying 2GB, DDR2-800 VOID IF REMOVED. The RAM was immideatly by my HP Mini 2140 that said that it detected a new configuration with a 2.08GB RAM and wanted to know if I should save that configuration in the BIOS. So I did and the machine booted up nicely. No problem for me. BR Tomas

I wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps? It was a breeze to replace the installed 1GB with 2GB -- remove 2 screws, take off cover, push out the two retaining clips on either side of the 1GB module, take out the 1GB module, put in the 2GB module, press down, replace cover and screws, done! Oh, one more thing. As the computer starts to boot up (and I mean right when it starts to power up) hold down the F2 key to bring up the BIOS. Verify that it sees 2GB of RAM. Then hit F10 to save the configuration. Once booted up, check by right-clicking My Computer, Properties.

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?

"I'm a girl..." Oh no she di'nt... :)Seriously, where did you buy 2gb ram for only $60??? My tech guy recommends crucial.com, but it's $106 there not including shipping. thanks, chickadee

Ryan: I am very interested in finding a case, possibly one with a slot load drive. I read you mentioned a case you found but where's the picture of the case? I would love to see it if you could please provide me a link or photo. Thanks so much. -cindy

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.
