I finally grew tired of the lack of memory on my Acer Aspire One (the default 512mb) and remembered that I have some extra 512mb memory modules laying around. So, how hard is it to add a little memory to a laptop? Not hard usually, but Acer engineers certainly made it challenging for the AA1.

Reg Hardware has some excellent step-by-step instructions to do the upgrade. It's basically a small matter of taking the AA1 to bits, but thanks to the instructions I managed to do it in 30 minutes without (hopefully!) breaking anything.

Check out some pictures of the upgrade in my Picasa albums.
