- While models differ, installing RAM typically requires you to unscrew a latch on your netbook's underside to install the new RAM. You won't need to disassemble the netbook to install RAM, making it a relatively safe upgrade.
- Though it's an easy process, you should find specific directions for upgrading your Asus model's RAM. The user manual typically gives you instructions, as well as telling you the type of memory required and the maximum capacity for your netbook (see Resources).
- Netbooks are typically designed as inexpensive travel computers used for Internet access and basic computing. They don't commonly come with large amounts of RAM, considering it's not usually needed.
- Wearing an anti-static wristband or grounding yourself frequently during the RAM installation will help protect your computer from static shock. Static shock can destroy the functionality of electronics, making grounding crucial. If you don't have an anti-static wristband, simply touch something metal periodically during the upgrade to discharge yourself.
