I have been gifted one of these and was looking to speed it up some, if possible. I've started another thread about the graphics, but wanted to ask about the RAM.
It has two slots, and each is filled with a 2GB DDR2 stick, so it has 4GB of RAM. That being said, some of the reviews I have read have said this is "unupgradeable," but I don't see why I couldn't put in two 4GB sticks, effectively doubling my memory. Granted, these articles are a few years old, but I don't see how it can be "unupgradeable." Did 4GB DDR2 sticks not exist until recently or am I missing some other limitation that would prevent me from upgrading the RAM?
Thanks for your help!

Memory Type: DDR2 PC2-5300, DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 4GB
Slots: 2

Here are specs I just pulled. Looks like it'll only support 4 gigs of ram, you could try more but I doubt it'll work.

I have the AE2220 (mine only has 3g ram). The manual says "Supports the maximum of 8 GB" Though I am finding it to be $200 to upgrade to 8GB.
