I had the same question. It's hard to find information. You just open a door on the back of the unit by the serial number and windows stickers. One screw. This exposes the 1 GB card. You pull this out and plug in the 2GB card. Should take about 10 minutes at the most. Check setup to make sure it recognizes the extra memory.

You guys want a DDR2 200-pin sodimm stick. The max speed (Mhz) isn't important since the laptop will just underclock any memory thats faster than what it can handle, which is slower than most sticks out there.Crucial 2GB Single DDR2 667MHz (PC2-5300) CL5 SODIMM 200-Pin Notebook Memory Module CT25664AC667There may be cheaper 2gb sticks out there, but this is an example.

The inbuilt memory i have never tried, but should not be too long. I've ordered the 64GB SD card with it, you will have a few hrs recoring with that. Inbuilt memroies are always just a few MB...Greg

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 wrote the following in my review of the 1000HE netbook. Did you follow all these steps?

I upgraded to 8GB of memory (2x4G, DDR3 SO-DIMM) like this one http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT2KIT51264BF160B/dp/B005LDLVAO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397079242&sr=8-2&keywords=SO-DIMM+ddr3. The system feels much snapper when many pages are open at the same time. It is easy to upgrade RAM, just remove the four rubber feet and the screws underneath them. Theoretically, the CPU supports 16GB, not sure if the mother board supports that much of memory. If someone has 16GB of memory at hand, please try and report back. The recognized memory size can be found in chrome://system (type it in the url bar).

Hi I just received the computer (2gig). I bought MAC compatible 2x2gig memory from newegg.com for about $96 (incl. shipping). Opening the back panel was pretty easy (you do need #00 philips driver). It took literally less than 5 minutes to do it.

I just read on Google,Asus saying that upgrading to2GB will Not void the warranty.I have the 2GB module will install,not really sure I need it.Oh well,you can never be too rich,thin or have enough memory.Follow up;Installed 2MB memory,one caveat,You must enter the BIOS to get it to recognize the 2MB,if you don't it will see your 2MB as 1 MB

Ram memory is soldered so it is unexpandable. You'd have to purchae the variant with 8GB by default. SSD is mSata so you can expand manually.

I had no problems installing mine. Be sure to determine if your model uses DDR2 or DDR3 memory. If you log onto Crucial.com with the netbook they will check it for compatible memory and tell you exactly what is needed. Kingston may do the same but I only use Crucial memory sticks.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX83N-oVQBwCheck this video before you purchase it. The memory is soldered on the board and there is no memory slot for upgrade.

I have the computer and the memory, but don't know how to do it. Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?

Disappointed that it has only 4gb memory capability, hope that its a miss print can anybody confirm that? Don't know what to do now, the price of ram always goes down and the need for it always seems to increase.

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.

William as stated below I used YouTube. It was like having a professor next to me. I was extremely careful. Find the year and model of your mb and search with that RAM UPGRADE inside YouTube And u r golden.

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.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.
