Upgrade Ram: Is there any way to upgrade the ram to 2gb while ordering through amazon?

just purchase the Ram elsewhere and do it yourself. It's very easy to install. Amazon only sells the pre-configured units from apple.

Yes. You can switch the 2 gb for a 4gb if you want to improve performance. The computer will not recognize any more than that though.

Yes, we did add extra ram...note the total memory cannot exceed 4megs . Hope this helps!

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

There is a comment box when you order, that you would normally use to give shipping instructions, etc. I left a note asking that the company call me and gave my telephone number. They called me and I gave them credit card info on the telephone (to pay for the extra RAM) and they fixed it up for me without any problems.

to my knowledge it is not possible to upgrade the memory. upgrading the hard drive is extrem expensive because asus uses its own SATA type.you better buy a zenbook with 256GB hard drive (they are available for around 1000 USD)

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

Heather is correct - but almost always RAM has a standard. You have to buy the correct type, but it is not proprietary. To fully upgrade this computer's RAM, buy this: Corsair 4GB (1x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory (CMV4GX3M1A1333C9)

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

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.

i ordered a 2GB upgrade built by Hynix from Amazon today. I will update you with success/failure situation in a week or so...2GB DDR2 RAM PC6400 800MHz 200PIN SODIMM by Hynix...actually derives from OEMPCWorld...Hynix and Unifosa are two brands of ram purportedly supported by ASUS

You can upgrade past 8gb. I currently have 12gb installed. My guess is 16gb is the maximum with 8gb per slot.

I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.
