Has anyone been able to upgrade this to 2GB RAM? Has anyone been able to upgrade this?

I purchased the LT2030U red netbook yesterday along with a single stick of 2GB PNY 677 Mhz memory and it shows 2048 for memory. So the answer to your question is yes it will upgrade to 2GB but you have to do it with single sticks as there is only one memory connector slot in the memory bay.

Also is the existing memory soldered in? can it be taken out and replaced with a new memory module? The specs say it supports up to 16GB, has anyone tried it yet?

Sorry, but the memory in this machine is not upgradable. If you need 16GB, it must be ordered at the time of purchase. The RAM is surface mounted to the system board.

Buddy, Yes it can be upgraded to a maximum of 16 gb as per the maximum specifications. However, practically I haven't tried. To best of my judgement I think it will support as HP must have done the bench marking or tests with maximum amount of RAM it can squeeze in.

Not sure how many memory slots it has, as I've never opened the computer. Frankly, unless I was an expert at tearing these things down and building them up, I would not upgrade the RAM; which I'm not sure is possible.

I have replaced my one gb stick of ram with a 2gb stick of ram. Hope that helps.

I added RAM on mine - 2 gig because it only had two slots. Not sure when it maxes out, but that probably would be determined by what sort of chip it is. I'm sure you can research that online.

Not sure if the seller can upgrade it for you but you could upgrade it yourself. The standard 4GB occupies one memory slot. The second memory slot is open so you can easily add another 4GB module for 8GB total.

I believe that you can upgrade the memory up to 16GB. My model came preinstalled with 6GB.

thank you!!!! also did you buy extra memory for it? was it hard to install it?

It uses laptop form factor SO-DIMM RAM. It can be upgraded to 8GB, but you would have to removed the 4GB module and replace it with an 8GB. There is no second slot.

update: my ram arrived today (thank you amazon prime!) and i'm running memtest on it right now. 16GB sure takes a while :-)

Yes. I've got the same model; I upgraded from 2gb to 8gb, and it's working beautifully.

It comes with 2GB why did you upgrade all the way to 4GB, did it add that much more speed? and how much extra of a cost? Are you still happy with it?Thanks

I downloaded the manual from asus. There's no mention of a memory upgrade.XP will around for a few more years. Too many computers have XP for it to go away any time soon.

Mike,I have not upgraded mine but I believe it can be upgraded to 8GB. Here is a link to Crucial memory http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=7D87E7DAA5CA7304Keith

Could you personally upgrade the RAM? Only if you know how to do it and can solder. I wouldn't try it.
