    I have the same question, what is the ram limit? I have the ZG5 8.9" with WinXP with 1GB ram too.

    Looking to upgrade to Win7, so should upgrade the RAM as well. BTW, is there an easy way to upgrade the ram?

    in theory it could handle up to 2GB but since Acer was so kind to integrate a 512MB module to the mainboard you can only put a 1GB module to the ram slot. so the limit is 1,5GB.

    Thanks for the info. Too bad we can't use a 2GB ram upgrade. The need of open up the whole netbook seems like a lot of trouble for additional 512MB, and risk of damage it :(

    Hi All,

    I am a newbie and I have a question on RAM. I don't know whether I am posting it at a right place or not.

    I have a black mackbook with 2.16GHz C2D processor bought new in May-07.
    It has 512MB x 2 RAM config, which I wish to upgrade to max.
    After doing some research on the net I figured that I can go with

    1GB x 1 and 2GB x 1 config.

    I found these online "corsair value select VS2GSDS667D2 2GB & 1GB". Are they good to go with my macbook?

    I also checked corsair's site where it talk abt Mac memory called VSA2GSDS667D2. Is there a significant difference?

    Thanks in advance.
