I first looked at memory - I only have 1Gb, and the device can support 1.5Gb. With 512Mb soldered into the motherboard only one socket is available to upgrade. the RAM is inexpensive - typically around £12. But the memory socket is on the underside of the motherboard requiring the complete disassembly of the netbook. Even though I have only 1Gb I don't feel the need to upgrade the RAM - typically the netbook bounces along with &lt;600mb utilised. Even running Photosynth's synther application on photos only causes this to climb to 821mb. I guess as it is a shared memory graphics card I could do with more, but it can wait.</p> <p>What I'm really missing is Bluetooth and 3G connectivity. Thanks to colleague Keith I got a line on TnkGrl. She is an amazing mobile technology customizer. In a three part blog post, TnkGrl has not only upgraded RAM, but added internal USB Bluetooth, larger disk drives and ultimately 3G!</p> <p>The third posting - including links to parts 1 and 2 - is posted here <a href="http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/10/28/modding-the-acer-aspire-one-hsdpa/">Modding the Acer Aspire One - HSDPA « tnkgrl Mobile</a> </p> <p>TnkGrl - I'm a new fan; looking forward to what you're going to try next!</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=9151633" width="1" height="1">Custom PCWindows 7AcerAspire One
