The 1012 uses a single, normal-laptop sized DDR2 module (that means 200pin). Speed should be equal or better than PC2-5300/667MHz. Size should be 0.5GB-2GB.

Installing the RAM isn't hard. Search the forums/Internet for instructions with pics. Just be careful when moving the keyboard out of the way.

Just a question: is replacing the RAM module voiding Dell warranty?
Thanks

no, upgrading the RAM does not void your warranty, you are also allowed to upgrade the hard drive also

Great! Excellent news. I'll get a 2GB module and do it. Or should I have it done by someone else? Dell won't do it, I suppose
I'm a bit surprised, though: unqualified hands (as far as Dell is concerned) tampering with the system might void the warranty, I suppose ... I should read support fine printing, perhaps, ... or just get started

Cheers
