FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 - [DDR2] RAM

How much RAM can I put in a Lenovo S10-3?

Maximum is 2GB. It only has one memory slot, so you'll need to replace whatever's in there with a single 2GB stick.

What type of memory does the S10-3 use?

DDR2 SODIMM - the smaller laptop-sized modules. Make sure you get DDR2, not DDR3 or anything newer, as they're not compatible.

What speed RAM should I get for the S10-3?

667MHz (also labeled as PC2-5300) is recommended. Faster RAM will work but will just run at 667MHz anyway, so no point spending extra.

Can I add more RAM without removing the existing module?

No, there's only one slot total. Whatever upgrade you do means taking out the old stick and putting in the new one.

Is 2GB enough for modern use?

Honestly, 2GB is pretty limited these days. Fine for basic web browsing and word processing, but don't expect to run multiple programs smoothly or use modern websites with lots of tabs open.
