Yes, you can. I have the HP 110-1132 by Studio Tord Boontje and I did it myself.

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.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

Toshiba Documentation states teh maximun amount of RAM is 32GB (4 RAM slots @ 8GB each). In the current configuration, 3 RAM slots are in use with 4GB each. Here is a link to the detailed spec sheet... http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4000727&isFromTOC;Link=false

16 GB is the max. I purchased two of these laptops and put 16 GB in one and used the existing 4 GB in the other to bump it up to 8 GB.

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.

You can go up to 2GB RAM (cost: $24 at Crucial). It's easy enough to switch out the sticks. Don't know about switching out the HD. HP makes a 6-cell battery for it.

From what I understand, the A205-S5835 is not upgradable. I purchased this memory for mine and my system would not load. I called the company and they said that it is not compatible because the A205 only holds 1GB. I found that hard to believe and contacted Toshiba and they confirmed that this is true. This A205 was an inexpensive laptop that really is not upgradeable.

I guess you need to buy the one from Crucial, I bought one non-branded that came from a HP Laptop with the same specs as the OEM but 2 gb and didn't work, good luck!

It depends on how many memory slots you have. If the laptop only has 2 memory slots, you'll need (2) 4-gig sticks to get max memory. You have to divide the max memory capacity by the number of RAM slots you have.

it is so easy to open the bottom deck of your laptop, so you can see your memory stick. You can compare both and you can buy the more GB as you want. Good luck.

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.

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

Even though I do not own one of those laptops, (Bought one for a friend out of the USA) I can tell you that they do not take more than the 4 Gigs of RAM in them... Most laptops come with the max. amount of RAM memory they can take... That is the main reason I do not own one...My PC has 24 Gigs of Ram

Hey,I'm guessing that you can. My laptop came with 1GB of RAM, two 512MB chips. When I got this I took out one of the 512MB chips and put the 2GB one in its place, so my laptop currently has 2.5GB of RAM. Did that a few months ago and I've had no issues at all so far. If you can put a 2GB chip in one then you would be able to put one in the other slot as well. A 32-bit system won't recognize more than 4GB of RAM anyway so yh, I think you can put two in. I'm planning on getting another one soon to give my system 4GB. :) Hope that answers your question...and I hope I wasn't too long Hey,I'm guessing that you can.

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;=enMichael McGee

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

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?
