    The W7 comes with 512MB soldered onto the motherboard and one expandable slot. Assuming this is a W7J the max memory you can put into the notebook is 1.5 GB (total, so you can only add a 1GB stick into the expandable slot). If your friend has a W7S, you can put 1 x 2GB stick into the expandable slot for a maximum of 2.5 GB of ram. You guys wasted money buying 2 x 1GB sticks.

    Hope that helped.
