    You can upgrade the ram but there is only ONE slot.
    Up to 2GB I think.

    Also, the onboard HD is not upgradeable but you can use the SD slot and
    add a 8, 16, or 32GB SDHC drive and use it as a boot drive.

    Be aware that the 2G Surf uses a slower processor than the 4G, has a weaker battery, and you have to completely open the chassis to get to the RAM since there is no RAM access cover/panel on the 2G like on the other Eee PCs.
