    Hi,
    Hopefully gonna be ordering a 6615WD soon, but still deciding over components. Will upgrading the RAM or HD in the future void my warranty? Thanks.

    No they wont, those are considered user upgradable.

    I want to upgrade the RAM on my 6214W. CPU-Z says it's 1024mb kingston pc5300 @ 333mhz. I want to add another stick. Are those available elsewhere or do I have to buy one from zepto? (the price differs 700 SEK, which is about 100 us dollars)

    I'm not sure, i think the GPU in the 6214w is soldered to the motherboard - in which case it would be impossible, the one on the 6615W comes with an MXM slot, but it would still be a very difficult upgrade. - and definitely would void ur warranty
