Hi, Yes, the maximum RAM supported is 8GB, with one slot available and the other slot is occupied with 4GB RAM. Thanks, PCrush

I have not done it yet myself, but upgrading RAM and hard drives are both possible on this machine. A good place to see what is compatible is www.crucial.com.

Yes, it can accept up to 8GB total DDR2 RAM. Right now it has 2GB, so you could quadruple the amount.

I think you can go up to 8GB RAM before you are limited by the chipset on the board.

Of course, but if you choose Win7 x32 bit, then you will be limited to only being able to use 4gb of the 8gb installed ram. I suggest Win 7 x64 bit to maximize all usable ram.

I would have to look but i think you can upgrade to 32 gigs of ram, i believe there is three more open bays.

The 4GB RAM is on one module, there are two slots so max upgrade is 2 x 8GB for 16GB or buy an extra 4GB to make 8GB.

Yes it's upgradable to 8GB, 2 x 4GB DDR3 12800. Click this link for reference. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03499287&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en Michael McGee

Hello Yen, Yes, you can upgrade it. However, the two RAM slots on the computer are filled with the original memory cards (two 512KB PC 5300 SO-DIMM). To upgrade it to 2GB, you have to remove the two original RAM cards and replace them with two 1GB cards. So, the cost to upgrade this computer includes (or can be offset by selling) the two original cards. I checked DealNews.com and they show this type of card selling at US$66 each and up. Note that if you buy the computer preconfigured with 2GB RAM directly from Apple that you will be charged an additional US$175. (This would include installation, but you would not have the two RAM cards to sell.) Hope this helps.

The two options available are 4GB and 8GB. I believe you can't upgrade to have more than 8GB max.

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM, but only to 8 G. Also, it only has room for one chip and make sure you get the right one. As far as changing out the HD drive, I believe you can, but I am not sure which one you could use. Maybe when you change the RAM you can check what is possible with the drive since you have to pull the whole bottom off to access the memory. I've been using the laptop as is and it works well for all I do. I woul recommend using the laptop for awhile before you change anything. Maybe it will work just fine "as is" for you?

No. If you install this RAM with out replacing your 4 GB, it will bottleneck.

Go to "system" and it will show the amount of RAM Memory. Mine came with 8gb.
