RAM

~1.5 GB practical (single SO-DIMM slot; 2 GB modules reported to fail to boot on some boards) · One 512 MB chip is soldered onboard; the single SO-DIMM slot is the only expansion point. Community reports (iFixit Answers) put the practical working ceiling below the 2 GB the slot nominally supports.
