my understanding is that this motherboard like many atom n270’s is limited to the pc4200 ddr2 speed so you can use pc 4200, 5300, or 6400 but not the lower speed mentioned above.

any corrections? else i am going to save some moola and put in the pc4200.

nice job above. after the third set of internal screws, i was thinking … can i use my dremel and create a memory access door :)

Great tutorial! I just went through your instructions and had zero questions. The only thing I ran into was the screw that holds the radio in on the bottom was too tight and got stripped. Not a big deal though since it really didn’t need to come out. I bought the 2GB RAM from Crucial for $47.99 which was only a couple of bucks less than Dell but the Dell rep had no idea what she was doing and then kept trying to sell me an extended warranty the whole time we were on the phone.
Anyway, the Mini 10v netbook runs much better with the 2GB installed. Now I just hope my wife will be happy.

great guide! I used a kingston DDR2 PC6400 (800Mhz) module as it was cheaper and it works perfectly.

Great instructional video and guide. I was wondering, Is there a way that a Dell mini 10’s RAM can be upgraded to 2gb? I’ve heard its been soldered on the motherboard and would the whole mini 10 system can accommodate the 2gb RAM?

Thanks for the video’s… Very helpful and the 2gig made a HUGE difference when surfing the web on the 10v

Awesome video. I have never added memory to a computer and because of your instructions I was able to do it in 40 minutes. Appreciate the time you put into this.

Thanks for this, clear and easy to follow. Wish when my HR manager asked if it was easy to upgrade memory in a laptop I had said no however!

Shame on you Dell……

What a great guide. Thanks for this! But if you (or anyone capable reading this) would indulge an utterly newbie sort of question: What type of memory module do I need? Dell lists the built-in module als DDR2 533MHZ. Now, I know that my 2GB module will also have to be DDR2 to work, but does it have to be 533MHZ? Or could I also use the 2GB DDR2 333MHZ module that I have lying around from my previous laptop? Any help is much appreciated.
