    I've bought TZ150 last week and it's on its way. Spec is, as you all know, 1gb ram and 100gb harddrive. My question is, Can I add one more 1 gb ram? or is there no free slot? And also, I have both Hard drive and DVD rom. Would I be able to buy SSD later and perhaps add it in there?(i don't care if I have to take out DVD rom, Hard drive, or both)

    Thank you!

    P.S. Does anyone know if Micro Vault Tiny 4GB works with readyboost?(I know 1gb and 2gb works, but couldn't find anything about 4gb)

    1) You will have to replace 1GB memory stick with 2GB one
    2) SSD is the same = you have to taky out 100GB and replace it with SSD

    I saw somewhere that it has 1 free slot, but I guess I've mistaken.
    Thanks for your help!

    Nope...there is no free slot. You have to buy a 2GB stick to replace it

    Indeed, there's only one memory slot. Any recommendations for a compatible 2gb memory? There's one vendor who offers explicitly compatible 2gb memory - that's Axiom ( http://www.axiommemory.com/Staples/config/products/branded/VGP-MM2048L-AX.aspx). Another one is OEMPCWORLD, although it would not come up in their memory configurator.

    Also, does anyone have some documentation on how to open up the TZ in order to replace the hard drive?

    Thanks,

    ALUT
