Hi

I have just bought a HP Mini netbook and I wondered if anyone could tell me whether I can upgrade to 4GB of RAM? I have read on the HP website that it only supports 2GB RAM but conflicting information on the net has said that it will be fine to use more. What would happen if I did upgrade it to 4GB? Any help you can provide would be appreciated

Many thanksGenuine Windows 7 Starter 32 won't support more than 2GB of RAM.Thanks for the reply. So if I upgraded the netbook to 64 bit would it then accept 4GB RAM? Many thanksIf your CPU is 1.9 GHZ Intel Atom N2800 it's a 64-bit cpu, so it is able to run 64-bit Windows.

However, specs say:  Memory Max   Supports up to 1 GB DDR3 (1 user accessible)

So basically if I upgrade to 64bit windows would I be able to upgrade to 4GB RAM even though HP's recommendations are different? Many thanksNo...it means if that is your PC in the 2nd link it'll only take 1G of RAM...no matter what OS is installed...From a UK RAM seller (Offtek)

 Thanks for the replies. I guess what has confused me is the conflicting recommendations on how much RAM you can use. Some say 1GB and others say 2GB which made me question whether 4GB could be installed? Would you guys recommend me simply using 2GB and leaving it at that? ThanksSounds like there were different versions of that model #...
Travel to crucial.com and run the online scanner...
Post the results.The specs STATE max RAM is 1 GB. The service manual says max Ram is 2 GB. Of course if you had the money you could buy a 4 GB module and a 2 GB module and if the larger one didn't WORK, try and sell it to somebody else

some things I found - I am not saying "go for it", you have to decide.
