    How to replace RAM (from 1GB to 2GB) in Dell Notebook
    I have a DELL Notebook Inspiron 10.1"( Windows 7, 1GB Ram, 250GB Hard Drive ) and I like to upgrade the Ram to 2GB as I feel very slow when surfing the Internet. Kindly please advise Where and What kind of Specification of the RAM I can get from, also any info about how to open to replace it. Thank you very much !

    You did no give the model number.
    You MUST have the laptop off when working on it.

    On your laptop go to http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/homepage.  In the middle of the page there is a box that has a link to "download the scanner".  Running that scanner will tell you what memory you have and what you can add.  It will also offer to sell you the RAM you need.

    Look on the bottom of your laptop and see if there is a small removable cover held in place with a screw.  If so, that should be where you add the new memory.  We would need the exact model number of your Inspiron to give a better answer than that.
