    I was looking at some GSkills memory that has a heat spreader. Will those fit in the notebook?

    Doubt it - at least, I wouldn't try it unless I happened to have some lying around.

    The tolerances are pretty tight in netbooks especially - better to stick with standard ram chips if you're purchasing.

    Thanks for validating. I was pretty sure that was the case, but figured I might as well ask...
