I have one of the above laptops and would just like to upgrade the RAM from 1gb to 2gb has anyone any info about how to do this?

crucial.com memory scan will tell you exactly what memory is available to you

usually there is a panel on the bottom of the laptop which unscrews where you can just pop the ram out and put the new stuff in. quite simple

Sony product code is VGNNR38E/S.CEK. I thought they all shipped with 2GB and that was the max it could take.

Update...

Opened the back to have a look and the second 1gb ram fell out, simply clipped it back in and its now displaying 2gb.

Thanks for the help though.
