    Is it easy to install an Additional 1gb or 512mb or ram on the Toshiba Satellite M40? The laptop is great, and it says that it only uses one slot with a 512mb of ram in it. Although I can't find a way to get to the second slot without getting everything off of it. If there is a place, could someone tell me? And if there's no such place, is it easy to simply get rid of the bottom and install than put it back?

    There should be a plate with one or two screws on the bottom for RAM.

    Yes I know, but the thing is that I can only see one RAM slot, and it's the one that is already taken. Where's the second one?!? :toshiba:

    If only 1 is accessible from the bottom of the laptop, the 2nd one is most probably underneath the keyboard.
