Update (since I previously said it WAS expandable): When I talked to a rep a couple of weeks ago, I was assured that the RAM was upgradeable, but it might have to go to one of their service centers. Just called in, and the sales rep said 2 gb was the max (BUT it was obvious she was just reading the same site info that I already had in front of me). Frustrating.

32GB is the max. But I haven't open up the cpu because of warranty. It is a pretty small cpu, if there is any slot open at all, would be two. Due to latecy may vary between different DDR'S, I would replace instead of adding.

We have 2-4gig & 1-8gig (all corsair blue) running in a server with an Asus mb. Most newer mbs support mixed memory fine. Some perform a little better with memory in pairs, so just in case, I would check the mb docs & put the 4g pair in the lower slots. Another suggestion is to run benchmark or Windows experience with only the 4g pair, then only the 8g.

I do believe it is possible to upgrade to 16gb. And I'm not to sure about your first question? Could you word it differently?

It is my understanding that it is, indeed, upgradeable to 16GB; however, I returned this computer before even powering it up as it was damaged prior to packaging at the manufacturer. The replacement I got is wonderful and it, too, is upgradeable. Hope this helps!

memory is hard to upgrade. detailed instruction on youtube, but 1 Gb is plenty sufficient if you are using windows XP or better yet, UBUNTU. excellent machine for the price and portability. just have to be patient to be shipped when i does become available. other models with solid state hard drive are availabe at almost $ 100 cheaper.

Melder you might want to prepare as there is now a review on cnet.com where the reviewer states his unit comes with 1GB welded on and no way to update it to 2gb. Please post your findings when you get your unit and I hope the RAM is upgradeable!

yes upgrade to 8g instead of 6 I would also replace hd with ssd...for super fast...

The 16gb upgrade is really only a 8gb upgrade that only leaves the machine with a total of 16gb. I wish it was a real up grade to 24gb

If you get the NB with 4GB of Ram can you upgrade to 6 or 8 by using the remaining slot?

2GB, I upgraded mine by adding in a 8GB chip to make it 10GB. The second slot is kind of hard to get to but if you can you can upgrade it to 16GB

I intend to use a 32gb card. Does that mean that it will not use the built in 8gb? Therefore I am paying extra for nothing?

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

I am interested in the same: what brand to upgrade to for 2X2gb; also, in what aspects did you notice an improvement?

It is very easy to upgrade ram. I just did it and did not even look at a guide.Note that there is only one SO_DIMM slot, so you cannot buy a 1 gb stick and add on. I swapped out the 1 gb stick mine came with, with onee of two 2 gb sticks on my thinkpad. better value all round.also, i just read online that asus changed their policy of treating ram upgrade as voiding warranty. not sure though.

Yes, you can put upto 16gb (8x2). Also you can upgrade the ssd, any msata ssd will work.
