Upgrading the HP Mini 1000 RAM from 1GB to 2GB Is A Snap

In this video, I upgrade my HP Mini 1000 and my wife’s HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam edition to 2GB of RAM.  Both of these units come standard with 1GB of RAM with no upgrade option from HP.  As many of you told me once I purchased it, these netbooks allow for a 2GB upgrade.  So I went to newegg (http://bit.ly/sn7u) and bought two of these 2GB memory sticks for $25 each. (Free shipping)  The process is so painless, it’s almost laughable.  You simple need an ink pen and fingers.  First you pop open the RAM slot on the bottom using the pen, and then remove the memory chip by releasing the latches on the side (it pops out).  Take the old memory chip, and put the new memory chip in slowly and push it down until the latches lock.  Put the RAM slot cover back on and you’re set!  RAM upgrades can be intimidating at first, but once you done a few, they’re actually fun   Enjoy!
