    When I get my W3V I am wanting to upgrade to 2gb. Anyone know if the 2 Ram slots are easy to get to? Or is one hidden or anything like that?
    I was curious if someone could point me in the right direction to find out how to install the RAM as well. I figure it's been posted already, but I seem unable to find the post. Thanks for the help.

    They're easy........ one is under the system in under the cpu cover (about 6 screws) and the other is opposite of that on the other side of the motherboard. Don't worry, it's directly under the keyboard. That comes up with the removal of two screws on the underside marked with a "<k" and then 3-4 spring clips above the keys on the top of the keyboard.

    The upgrade should take someone like you who hasn't even seen the notebooks... maybe 10 minutes. The second time you do it, it would probably be a couple minutes at most (that's all screwing and unscrewing time).
