Thanks for a nice video. While upgrading RAM is easy (I put in 4 GB & installed Windows 64-bit), I was unsuccessful in removing wi-fi card. Wanted to replace it with Intel Advanced-N 6200 to have both 2,4 Ghz & 5 Ghz channels. The screw holding Atheros card is damn tough, I couldn't unscrew it no matter what. Following your video I removed the keyboard, cover in the hope to find something that prevents from unscrewing the card on the other side. But there's nothing there.
i just got 522 and how you upgrade ram? Please someone upload how to video. The bottom of the 521 looks different than 522. I hope it is easy as well.
huh? i dont get that???? i have the acer aspire one 520 and have a 1.2Ghz AMD processor V105 (my samsung galaxy s has a 1 ghz lol) and why are there such differences??????????????
This baby can go up to a max of 4GB DDR3 ram memory. Run this with eBooster software and you have a ultra lightening speed single core processor....amazing engineering from the unexpected Acer brand.!!
i did think u cud. but looking @ this video i guess not....unless netbook ddr2 ram is different to laptop ram which i know is different where the split in the ram.
this is a great netbook. Just dropped a 4gb stick into the slot and I now have 4 gigs. I have windows 7 32bit so need to reconfig to 64 bit but it is reading the full 4 and I have about 3gb for use (not counting video ram
@wiremite it does take a 4gb stick? ive been thinking about upgrading the ram, but i dont want to buy something, only to have the computer not recognize it
How many memory slots do you have on the 521? I just got mine and want to upgrade it. I went to crucial.com to scan my computer and it said I have 4 slots, one of them with a 1gb ddr3. I think there should only be one slots right? And should I buy only 2gb of ram, will that be enough? Thanks, you have an awesome video page!

@IbzSolja1 No. It can't, you must use DDR3.

AMD Athlon II Neo ProcessorK125 (1.7GHz)
1GB DDR3 Memory
250 GB HDD.
I called acer and they said I had 4 slots. 1 for 512mb, 1 for 256mb and another for 256mb.
Are you sure it can be upgraded to 2 gb? Thanks!

@Caracucb download cpuz program. it will tell you how many ram slots your laptop has.

The K125 perform near twice the speed in cpu and more than 8times in gpu. With the AMD Nile, Atom seem like prehistoric things.

How does the new AMD processor compare in speed to the upgraded Atom N475? Have you had a chance to use something with that new Atom chip?
