    hey guys. so I Finally got my 8510p today.

    Since it comes with only 1gb I'm thinking about adding some more
    Will any kind of ddr2 pc2-5300 sodimm work fine on the 8510?
    Here's the ram i'm talking about http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=20656&promoid=1016it's

    Also, Do I have to do any notebook ritual before proceeding to install a second stick of ram?(eg.reset cmos, If that exists?)
    Furthermore, where can I get hold of an extended manual? mine only came in few pages

    thanks in advance

    That should work. Installing ram is also very easy. All you do is take off the ram cover. Unclip the clamps on the ram. Remove the ram (it should pop up after you remove the clamps). Put in new ram (it will be in a upright position like a 45 degree angle). Push down ram until clamps go back on. Put cover back on.
