FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S10 RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo S10?

Maximum is 2GB total. It's got 2 slots, so you could do 2x1GB sticks or leave one slot empty with a single 2GB stick if you can find one that works.

What type of memory does the S10 take?

DDR2 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Not the full-size desktop RAM. Make sure it's DDR2, not DDR3 or anything newer.

What speed RAM should I get?

667MHz (also called PC2-5300). The system might accept faster RAM but it'll just run at 667MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.

Can I mix different RAM sizes?

Yeah, you can mix sizes like 512MB + 1GB. Just remember the total can't exceed 2GB. Mixing speeds is okay too - it'll run at the slower speed.

Is upgrading the RAM worth it on this old netbook?

If you're still using it and have less than 2GB, definitely. Going from 1GB to 2GB makes a noticeable difference for basic tasks. Won't turn it into a speed demon but helps with multitasking.
