    The specifications here indicate a maximum of 4GB. The RAM is DDR2 and will be SODIMM (smaller modules that are used in notebooks). The specifications also state that the RAM is 533MHz which is slow by current standards and specific 533MHz RAM may be more expensive.

    However, most 800MHz modules will run at 533MHz. See the attached for one example.
