No ram door is available.You have to take the machine apart to upgrade RAM.

The motherboard have built in 512MB chip and 512MB of RAM in the expansion slot. The slot support up to 1GB of RAM so you can get 1.5GB total.

memory is hard to upgrade. detailed instruction on youtube, but 1 Gb is plenty sufficient if you are using windows XP or better yet, UBUNTU. excellent machine for the price and portability. just have to be patient to be shipped when i does become available. other models with solid state hard drive are availabe at almost $ 100 cheaper.

so its not expandable? that sucks. I might call MSi just to double check, because i think thats an important factor in which one I choose....is it a big deal to you? did you notice they also had it listed in one spot as 160gb, and in another it said 120gb. I emailed them to see which for sure(though obviously everywhere else it says 160gb)...don't know why that happens.

Doesn't appear to be, but it seems that other people [in their answers to questions like this] on the Amazon page have upgraded with RAM similar to this. I can't recommend that you purchase it though for the fact that it may not fill in properly [it seems like they're two different types of RAM to me]. I also can't recommend that you buy the ASUS A53Z-AS61, because for the same price you could get a much better laptop. Try to find a newer one in the same price range.

Good question. I've been having issues with my hard drive lately. It says my memory is too low and to add memory. I've purchased an iPad to replace this product. For what I spent on this ASUS, I am not happy that it only lasted just over 1 year before major problems. I would look at an HP. Good luck.

Does anyone know if there is more than one slot? I currently have 2 matching SODIMM's at home, and want to know if this netbook supports 2x1GB, or if there is only 1 slot, and I would have to purchase the 2GB memory SODIMM?

It Might you need to google your laptop to see what it came with as well as check what your windows on the Laptop will support as well. I used both sticks in my laptop. Now I have 16G Ram. Good Luck

Hello,I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance?Thanks.

In my experiences, when it comes to a laptop's expansionablities, you really can't believe the maker's claims.You have to really install 16/32G of ram to see it recognize. With 64bit OS, I think it can accept at least 8G of ram per slot.BTW, this is overpriced, underperforming (especially 1600 x 900) laptop at this price.DO NOT BUY.

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.

I previously answered a similar question here. Here's the answer: Yes it's expandable only up to 12 GB. It comes with two slots - a slot with 4 GB soldered into the motherboard and a slot with 2 GB that can be removed. I ended up removing that 2 GB RAM and putting in a Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L RAM ($72 on Amazon Warehouse Deals) chip in it. Works great. The original 2 GB chip was ADATA brand. As long as the speeds match, then there should be no problem mixing RAM of different capacity/size.

It's very easy to upgrade. There is a plate on the bottom front of the laptop that has two screws on one end and then tabs on the other end where you can slip a small flat blade screwdriver on each of the three tabs and gently lift up. The two DIMM slots feed your new memory just like any other soDimm. I just checked to make sure. I already have two 4GB cards in mine, so I'm happy.

As far as I know you cannot add memory so it's limited, but I run 8.1 - a little slow at times ,could be other reasons. I bought mine a year ago, there may be better options now. Look around before buying.

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

The motherboard has four memory slots. Only one is filled. Presumably this means that, yes, you can add more. This is NOT a quarantee that it will work. Of course the ASUS uwarranty says breaking the warranty seal on the case (by removing the side cover to do things such as add memory) will void the warranty. From their website: " The warranty will not apply to or be valid under conditions including but not limited to the following:.... c) The product warranty seals have been broken or altered."

I hadn't heard that, but it would explain it. Anyone have any suggestions on what kind of card works to expand the memory?

I know that it has 4G of RAM, and I understand from my info that it is upgradable, I have expanded RAM in desktops, but I have never upgraded a laptop, and I don't know if it has slots available.
