How to find the memory, this to is an unknown. The memory modules could be: under the keyboard (yup IBM, Dell, and Acer do this), under the hard drive (Arcer), in a very logical place under a small panel on the bottom side of the computer.
Cautions:
A) Ram is static sensitive read my Safety page before opening computer.
B) The modules are manufactured as to go into the slot one way, do not force the module into the slot (seen that, not pretty and not cheap), if it doesn't slide into the slot turn it around. If it still doesn't fit you have the wrong module return it for the correct one.
C) Laptop ram is power specific.
Case in point: A guy I worked with had two laptops; same make,
same model but different revisions. One was a little under a year older. The
newer one had a failed motherboard and was being returned to the manufacture for
repair. My collogue decided to take the 512 meg module from the newer computer
and put it in the older computer. Not checking the web site for compatibility he
fried the memory module and the motherboard. Now he has two dead systems.
So research will save you some $$$ and grief.
