What ASUS tells me is that 2gb is the max that this notebook comes with. this is very true as I was just trying to do this also. What I found is that there are SK Hynix chips on the mother board which tells me that the ram is actually built into the motherboard. That being said means that you would need to get a whole new custom built motherboard with more ram built into it which would cost more than buying a new laptop in a whole that can accept ram into a slot like it should always be.
