Yes, you can. I have the HP 110-1132 by Studio Tord Boontje and I did it myself.

Thanks for the info in re do-it-yourself upgrading to 2GB. I have a HP 210-1040 NR and would like to try an upgrade but would need at least basic instructions before I opened up my computer. Are such available, as far as you know? Thanks.

If you're talking about the seller that says 1GB, it is most likely 1GB. When these first came out, they had only 1GB to start with, and you are able to upgrade to a maximum of 2GB (That's what the motherboard supports; Any more than 2GB and it won't be used - With that said, I wouldn't trust the sellers with 4GB ones.) Even if you did buy a 1GB one, upgrading that to 2GB is VERY cheap nowadays, so you don't have to worry.

I bought this laptop from TigerDirect.com store (old CompUSA), mine had 4X2 gig (all the slots were full). I had to buy 4X4 gig to upgrade to 16 gig overall, fortunately they were on sale. By the way, would anyone like to purchase 4X2 gig sticks of DDR3 ram? LOL

Hello, I just finished buying an ASUS 1000HE (literally within the past hour or so), but while I wait for it to get shipped, I was wondering if I should also opt for the memory upgrade. Seems, cheap and effortless to install, I'm just curious, have you noticed a significant difference in performance? Thanks.

Toshiba Documentation states teh maximun amount of RAM is 32GB (4 RAM slots @ 8GB each). In the current configuration, 3 RAM slots are in use with 4GB each. Here is a link to the detailed spec sheet... http://support.toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?contentId=4000727&isFromTOC;Link=false

No these are two sticks of 1 GB each. so if you 2 GB you might be having the same thing. This will not give any upgrade to you. Also for me one stick didn't work, had to throw it.

it is so easy to open the bottom deck of your laptop, so you can see your memory stick. You can compare both and you can buy the more GB as you want. Good luck.

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.

This machine only has one memory slot and Samsung indicated 4GB is it's maximum supported capacity. The laptop would have to be disassembled to access the slot so it's not intended to be user upgraded.

the newer laptops don't need to be the same GB or brand, but need to be correct part though (of course) I have a 4gb and a 2gb in mine and it works great.

The Toshiba Satellite A30-151 accepts DDR PC 2700 333MHz(maximum 2GB with 1GB/slot), which is precisely this memory. HOWEVER, I've had several Toshiba Satellites, Dells and HPs in the past and I found out that unlike the Dells and HPs, the Toshiba laptops are VERY finicky when it comes to the BRAND of the memory. I've had situations where I had two different memory brands where both had the EXACT same specs and the Toshiba laptops would accept one brand and not the other. It had been a while so I do not remember which brand I used, but I just want you to be aware that your machine may not accepts the memory you bought for it, even though it is the correct memory.

According to Compaq, this laptop can have the RAM upgraded to 8GB. I have been searching to see how to do it. I can only find one slot under the machine and I imagine the other one is under the keyboard. If you have any luck finding the 2nd RAM slot, please post it's location.Thanks

It's very easy to upgrade. There is a plate on the bottom front of the laptop that has two screws on one end and then tabs on the other end where you can slip a small flat blade screwdriver on each of the three tabs and gently lift up. The two DIMM slots feed your new memory just like any other soDimm. I just checked to make sure. I already have two 4GB cards in mine, so I'm happy.

The Toshiba Laptop I worked on had Hynix in it already so I replaced it with the same brand (Hynix) just upgraded. Hynix shows it has specifications for your laptop - Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 (non-ECC) Maximum Memory: 2GB Slots: 2

I upgraded the memry to 2GB on purchase two or three years ago and it has worked flawlessly since. My understanding is that the memory socket limits the address range to 2GB maximum - 4GB would require one more address line than the socket supports. So this would be a hardware max-out.

Grrr... I bought the MSI Wind U120-020 US with the extra 1 G RAM - because the site said "upgradeable to 2 G". I just finished opening it up and in the process voiding my warrantee only to find NO RAM SLOT. So I came back here to look for more technical info and here is this thread. There is definitely NO RAM SLOT AVAILABLE so keep that in mind when buying.
