Upgrading components: Will Windows-7 Starter recognize 2 gigs of memory if installed?

Yes, to the memory. I upgraded my Toshiba mini to two megabites(?) last year. I bought battery directly from Toshiba online. Sorry I can't answer your other questions.

Windows 7 32 bit Will be blind to any more than 4 gigs of ram. Won't hurt it but it will not use it and therefor a waste.

2 GBs is the recommended minimum. I upgraded to Win 7 from XP, but I had 4 GBs memory. Works fine.

1 4GB kit would max the ram capacity in theory, but you can add a 8GB and make the system 12GB. I have seen this work and Windows recognizes this with no problem. Apparently the empty slot can accommodate max 8GB. The system has one empty slot.

yes you can upgrade to a maximum of 4Gb. Ensure you look at the installed memory which should be either ddr2-pc2-5300 or ddr2 pc2-6400. match the ordering of additional ram to what you have installed. Good Luck

The type of RAM the motherboard can handle is DDR3 up to 2400 with OC. There are 4 slots total. All four slots are in use by 4x 4GB sticks. The maximum support memory is 32GBs. Note: If you wanted to upgrade to 32GBs, you would need to replace all the memory in the system and you would need to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or higher, as Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit is artificially capped at 16GBs by Microsoft (even though 64-bit systems can support 192GBs memory.)

You, Sir, are awesome! This AO522 will accept a 4GB DDR3 DIMM and with N Tan's x64 driver package you can install Windows 7 Pro (or even Ultimate) x64!! Amazing performance from then on!

Shouldn't be a problem, just purchase another 8gb stick. Also agree with the other answer an ssd is a much better way to upgrade this notebook. I talk about this in my review. About the other answer though, he/she indicates two ram slots are in use. At least in mine it came with one 8gb stick instead of two 4gb sticks.

Sadly, I am not computer-savvy enough to find that information (especially as I am still getting used to Windows 8). Perhaps you could give some quick instruction on where to find ddr memory, and I can look it up on my laptop.

I have 4 Gigs of Memory on mine ... I am running Window 7 Pro ... it is working very smoothly.

That's funny, because mine came with Windows 7 Home 32-bit and only 2 gb of ram. I paid $200 for it. Make sure you check with each individual seller to see what they're selling you.

Check the requirements for the OS you want, in this case Win 7. You will probably be Ok. The RAM in these machines are fairly easy to change out and upgrade.

If your laptop is running Win 7 Home Basic then you can only have 8GB of RAM if you have the Premium then you can install 16GB like you are trying. Also, you need to make sure that you are using the same frequencies that your laptop supports. Hope that helps.

Hi I have bought four of these old office machines. typically they were XP systems. Its pretty easy and available to get an old XP complete restore disc. The machines will run Windows 7 if you upgrade the flash memory to at lease 2GB. 4GB is the machine maximum and is what i Recommend. It will cost about $40.00 for this DDR2 flash memory upgrade. A windows 7 upgrade disc will not help you. What you will need is a windows 7 program disc. Good Luck.

Hi Really depends on the age of your machine. This version is for system builders, meaning you'd have to wipe windows xp and install win7 fresh. This won't upgrade an existing windows installation. If your machine is older than 4 years, I'd suggest a new machine. The install took 15gb of my hard disk

Yes, I am using Windows 7. 6GB ram is more than enough, in fact I think as little as 2GB will work but, of course, the more the better!
