Quick ASUS N10 RAM Upgrade question

Hi,

I'm going to buy an ASUS N10

this one:

http://www.ow.com.au/ASUS-N10JC-HV006-N270-1-6-160-1G-10-XPH-Notebook-PC#

I want to upgrade the RAM to 2GB's...

My question is. Is their one RAM slot or 2 in the N10? Do I need to buy a fresh 2GB SODIMM or can I get away with an extra 1GB SODIMM.

Thanks!

 

The netbooks only have a single RAM slot - no room in there for two of them .

 

Thanks. Because that's too short. Thanks again.

 

Is the ASUS N10Jc even upgradeable?

Anandtech says it only supports 1GB and you need to buy the more expensive Vista version in order to upgrade it. Can't really find much info on this.

 

I upgraded the 1GB stick to a 2GB stick. Took all of about 4 minutes.

I also took a ghost image of the disk - upgraded to 500GB and then reghosted initial image.

I now have a spare 160GB drive and a spare stick of 1GB RAM.

Mine is an

Asus N10JC-HV006

10.2" WSVGA
Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
1G 667 RAM (upgraded to 2GB)
160G HDD (upgraded to 500GB)
9300M GS
Bluetooth
1.3MP webcam
XP HOME
2 Years Warranty

Beautiful little machine.

 

Ah okay. Anandtech must be on shrooms then.

 

If that's the case, then Anadtech may be guilty of false advertising. The N10J comes with a stock 2GB stick of ram and there's no reason to doubt that the N10Jc would be any different.

 

The N10Jc comes with 1GB of RAM stock (all XP netbooks infact are limited to 1 GB due to Microsoft and Intel's restrictions), but you're right the N10J comes with 2 GB of RAM.

 

Mine came with 1GB. Even says so on the pretty little ASUS specs sticker they love sticking on the palmrest.

 

2GB max. See this for full frontal action:

The only places that are available in the US at the moment are 2 eBay stores and 1 online store, and they all say 1GB RAM. How can you explain this? They couldn't all have it wrong, could they?

Edit: Woops.. the N10J-A1 and A2 both have 2GB... the N10Jc-A1 has 1GB stock

 

Yes yes, what I am referring to is the Max RAM is 1GB as well. Is this a mistake on all of them?

 

The max RAM for all of them is 2GB, so that must be a typo.

 

I think they have confused the maximum physical RAM with the maximum Ram permitted to be installed before actually selling.
