    For Asus computers, you are allowed to upgrade the Ram and HDD.

    i dont think that there is a way for them to monitor that you changed ram. Unless there is a sticker on it? Jsut replace it, if something does go wrong put it back to default.

    DDR2 200pin So-Dimm. 667MHz would be ideal but other speeds will work just fine.
