Iqon LM1W is RAM upgradable?

is the RAM upgradable in these laptops? if so what type does it take and does it have a spare slot or do i have to replace the existing RAM?

it has 256MB and a 1.5Ghz celeron processor and i want to put in 512MB to speed it up. i presume this will work if it is possible?

i believe RAM just slots in to a bay and that is all that has to be done, is this correct?

All depends on what the motherboard supports. I couldn't find anything online for that model notebook. Try calling the number below and they should help:

The iQon website is a load of tosh, best give them a call about it as suggested.

It is upgradeable , but to find out if you have a spare slot your going to have to open it ,

You need a jewellers crosspoint ( philips ) to open it , dont be tempted to use a bigger one , you'll just wreck the screws.

The manual says which panel you take off for the memory ( the manual is on the driver CD ) .

It will most certainly be SO-DIMM , DDR , mine was the PC2700 ( 333Mhz ) type ,
It can be had from Komplett , an extra 256 is 40 euro

Thank you Mathias, never thought of checking the drivers cd for a manual.
I rang customer support before posting and was holding for 10 minutes so i hung up.

I know iQon are in transit to new premises at the moment and things are up in the air. Probably why no answer.
Sales is working alright though! :rolleyes:

OK it has DDR2 533 SDRAM (SO-DIMM 200pin). 1 256 module and 1 spare slot.
i checked komplett and how do i know what CAS Latency and memory speed is right for my system?

All 533 modules in komplett are the same , you dont need to worry about those particular figures , just get the 533 and it will work .

If you need to check , those figures can be got from the Bios.
Laptop manufacturers never overclock or mess with memory timings so you should be fine with the komplett modules.

I presume the 533 is memory speed, and if so, this is the only option available to me from Komplett? http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=316248
