    Went back about ten pages to even find this thing on the forum. My wife has one and for the life of me I can't figure out what type of RAM it has. I'm looking to upgrade it. As was noted in the owners thread with the stock RAM setup it's pretty slow. Earlier today she was running at 50% memory usage with no active programs running. So... yeah guidance towards what I need to buy to get this thing to be a bit more zippy would be nice. Much thanks in advance. Sorry for Necroing such an old laptop/tablet/thingy.

    DDR2 PC-5300. If you want it to be more zippy, a faster drive or SSD might be a better way to it.

    I had actually just found that on the Crucial Site, they said it can only support up to 2GB of ram, can anyone confirm or deny that? If my wife used it more I might go for an SSD but since she pretty much only occasionally uses it to browse the web, I don't wanna drop that kinda money into it.

    You should run CPU-Z. That should tell you what memory is there now on the memory tab. I don't know what the max memory is. It probably depends on the chipset. CPU-Z should tell you that too.
