There are no slots for RAM at all on this particular model Theoretically it is still possible - by replacing half of the motherboard (including Atom CPU). In practice, it is not worth it - it would cost fortune and complete netbook dismantling would be required |

Your not replacing half the MoBo, it's a daughter board/module that has RAM and CPU on one card. I have a 1GB 1010 too and haven't seen anything on pricing, but I'd bet you'd be better off just buying a 2GB 1010 from the outlet, and yes, would require opening the case. D:\duo\320GBHD\2GBRAM\W8DP |

I hate Dell for not having the 2GB version available from the beginning... waste of money now |

I am very interested in doing this as well. my back ground with soldering and replacing surface mount parts is very good :-) I do this all day long at work. Been doing this for about 25 years now. just need to know what chips to get. Thanks, Jeff |
