    I been trying to figure out how to install the second chip of ram for my w3v. I took off the 2 screws marked K because I figured it meant keboard but I dont know how to get the darn keyboard off. Can anyone tell me how to correctly install the second stick of ram? thanks in advance

    Umm...

    You just flip the W3V around, take off the lid with 6 screws or the Windows XP sticker and just put in the RAM. You're trying access the RAM that's included with the W3V.

    the w3v section on the asus site does show how to access the 'main' memory.
