    Took me two minutes. You just need to remove the panel on the bottom of the laptop labelled "M". Take out the two memory sticks and put in two new ones.

    Vista recognises 3,581.38 MB of RAM.

    Usually pretty easy to swap RAM, kind of suxors that it doesn't read all of it...

    Yea, it's just too bad that 2gb ram modules still cost over $100 each.

    You sound like Bill Gates from around 20 years ago!

    Seriously, I need and use all the RAM I can get. Try running Vista, and Windows 2003, SQL Server, Visual Studio and BizTalk in another VM...
