FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3s - [DDR3] RAM

How much RAM can I put in my Lenovo S10-3s netbook?

Maximum is 2GB. It only has one memory slot, so you're stuck with that limit even though you might want more.

What type of memory does the S10-3s use?

DDR3 SODIMM - the smaller laptop-sized sticks. Make sure you get SODIMM not regular desktop RAM or it won't fit.

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

1066MHz (also called PC3-8500) is what's recommended. You might find faster RAM works but the system will just run it at 1066 anyway.

Can I add more RAM slots to increase beyond 2GB?

No, there's only one slot total and that's soldered to the motherboard. You can't add more slots - it's a hardware limitation of these little netbooks.

Is upgrading to 2GB worth it on the S10-3s?

If you're running with less than 2GB, definitely. Going from 1GB to 2GB makes a noticeable difference for web browsing and basic tasks. Just don't expect miracles - it's still a netbook.
