    will this netbook support this new RAM????
    « on: November 26, 2009, 11:22:37 AM »
    im thinking of purchasing http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172831/show_product_overview
    and without any upgrade it only has 1 GB of ram, but with the current spec that it is showing on the website it is unclear as to weather you are able to upgrade it to 2gbs
    the memory i want to purchase for it would be this:

    Much as I hate to contradict Patio - I believe some erroneous press releases at the time of the US release of the N130 state the max RAM as 1 GB. However, UK Education customers (students, teachers) can buy Samsung N130 with an "Upgrade Bundle" (2GB RAM + XP Pro) for a total of £329.00 Ex VAT £378.35 Inc VAT from several sources.

    This guide on Netbookusers.com shows how to upgrade N130 RAM

    All i looked at were the manuf. spec sheets...
    I'm sure there are other models available.

    A lot of reviewers say you should only get the N130 if you cannot afford the N140.
