You forgot the screws on the bottom of the rubber feet. only remove those close to the battery not the ones up front. Removing the rubber feet will expose the screws.

Hehe... yeah, people are pretty RAM-happy these days. Mostly because it's a cheap way to get a nice performance boost. The answer is no, it's not necessary. I do it because on a flash-based device, I prefer to run swapless, so more physical RAM is good.

Is Aspire One compatible with 1 GB DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM, isn't it?

SO-DIMM type yes...and is placed in the alternate memory slot on the backside of the mobo.

No. The unit must be disassembled.
