4 GB of RAM is plenty if you are a "normal" user. It might not be enough if you are editing a Hollywood movie daily or if you want to keep hundreds of programs open constantly. Anyway, you shouldn't purchase additional RAM from Apple; it will be far cheaper to buy your own from a reputable third-party and install it yourself.

Yea I have read in multiple sources that it is 1 RAM slot filled with a 1 gig stick that you remove and replace with the $20 buck 2 gig stick. I'm curious how cheap these 1 gig sticks are going to go for sale for and if there is any thing a computer builder/hacker could do with all the extra EEE 1 gig sticks out there. I'm still curious why they couldn't just cost the extra $20 and come maxed out.

If you are interested in upgrading the RAM (always a good idea), why are you even considering this PC? In terms of it's upgrade potential, this PC is a white elephant.

You got to open your computer ram and see how many slots were there... you said ur computer has 4gb ram usually it should be in 2 slots 2gb each and u can change one of the slot and put the higher gb one to improve performance.. remember before you go for higher gb one you should check online whether ur computer supports the new ram or not..

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

make sure you match up your FSB! If you have money left over max out that old ram it wont be expensive. Make sure you buy paste too.

I think it can take up to four gigs of RAM. Mine only came with one though.

It does not come supplied with RAM... you need to add this; there are two empty slots; fill one or both but either way, you gotta buy RAM!

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

You can upgrade the ram by replacing it--I've done that. In fact, I upgraded to 8gig. However, you actually take the top off and then work your way down from the top until you get to the ram. I used a Youtube video to walk me through it.

My computer has 8GB of ram but Im guessing that it can also come with 4 and then upgraded to 8. I would do two things. Contact the seller or buy the computer and hope that it comes with 8GB of ram. The computer works pretty good. The only gripe is the Microsoft software and it takes a while to figure out.

I have finally been able to install the 2GB RAM with my ASUS 1000HE turning on but I have the same problem with the system not showing the added RAM.Nothing happens when I pressF2 as you did.Can someone please advise me? I'd really be grateful.

Dear customer,1. The amount of installing RAM have to be min. 4 GB if the OS is Windows 7 or 8. Better is 6 or 8 GB RAM, but it depend from the Mother Board.2. If the PC is old there is dust inside. You have to clean the contact points before adding the new RAM. Practically, the handy way is to plug in and remove several times the RAM in the socket places. I hope then the PC will start normaly! Success!

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

I haven't done it yet, but it shouldnt't affect your ability to upgrade your ram. If anything it will only help your performance.

Yes the make very easy to upgrade ram. The computer has 4 ram slots, two under the keyboard that they use originality to install ram and two other under the back cover (which can be removed with only 3 screws) which were left open for upgrade. I don't know about warranty but I would not think upgrades would void anything.
