FAQ about Lenovo IdeaPad S10-4231ADU RAM

How much RAM can I put in this laptop?

Maximum is 1GB total. Pretty limited compared to modern machines but that's what this model supports.

How many memory slots does it have?

Just one slot, so you can't add a second stick - you'd have to replace the existing RAM if you want to upgrade.

What type of RAM do I need?

DDR2 SODIMM - the smaller laptop memory sticks. Won't work with regular desktop RAM or newer DDR3/DDR4.

What speed RAM should I get?

667MHz (also labeled as PC2-5300). You could technically use faster DDR2 but it'll just run at 667MHz anyway.

Can I upgrade from 512MB to 1GB?

Yes, if you currently have 512MB, you can swap it out for a 1GB stick. Just remember you're replacing, not adding.

Will 2GB work even though max is 1GB?

No, the system won't recognize more than 1GB. Some people try this hoping it'll work but you'll waste money - stick to 1GB max.
