    Hi

    I know the Limitation on the acer aspire one chip set is 2GB , However 512MB is soldered directly to the motherboard making the MAX 1.5GB as no 1.5 GB Ram sticks exist to make it 2GB ... and if i added a 2GB card it would be 2.5GB which is above the limit...

    Soo I would like to know if it would be possible for me to create a 1.5GB stick of ram out of a 2GB one (eg: remove say two of the chips)

    The only problem I can think of with this (apart from whether it is even possible) is weather the slot may have a limit of 1GB its self.

    Soo this leads me to think if I were to remove the 512MB of ram off the motherboard would i be able to solder 1GB on instead?

    I know this would be tricky but would make an interesting challenge, also no one else seems to have got a aspire one to run 2GB of ram yet...

    Thanks Andy

    Depending on your model, installing a 2gb module will do one of two things, either a) the onboard 512mb will be disabled, giving you the maximum 2gb or b) you'll Max out at 1.5gb

    As far as I'm aware, there's no way to modify a ram modules capacity.
