    All you need to do to get at the ram in the 5100 series is to remove the thermal panel(biggest panel held on by 4 screws) on the bottom of the notebook. Once you have done that the 2 ram slots are right there. Once you can see the modules, then you can continue your memory upgrade following crucial.com installation guide (easier than if I tried to explain it). So remember remove the thermal panel on the bottom of the notebook then follow crucial's so-dimm installation guide.

    Also if you want here is the service guide for the aspire 3100 5100 and 5110 series.

    ...and make sure your laptop (BIOS) supports the amount of total RAM you want to put into it...or, has a BIOS update available to support it.

    ANY PC is limited re: how much RAM it can recognize.
