    Everyone... I saw the post on how to change the ram out. My question is what type of ram is it? I am not paying 200 extra bucks for 4 gig ddr3. I will just buy some fast stuff and replace myself.

    So if someone can give me the specs I can buy some while I wait.

    Thanks!

    It tells you, right on the page you're looking at when customizing the unit. Dual Channel DDR3 SO-DIMM at 1066MHz

    I can see the pics... my vision is not the best I see something that says pc3 or something like that. I was wondering if they had numbers like pc6300 or pc6400 or whatever. I should have been more specific when I asked. Thanks!

    Check Newegg. Any of these should work.

    I'm running the Mushkin kit in mine and it has been great. Much cheaper to get them from Newegg.
