I was thinking about buying a Wind but with the warranty situation as it is I will go ahead and just get an Asus and kick it up to 2gigs without worry. Sorry Wind with policies like this one you just lost a customer.

In regards to Kevin’s coment above, the Wind comes with a DDR2 667mhz type RAM , so you can either upgrade a second stick at the same speed, or disable on board ram and buy a 2GB 800mhz RAM stick.

i did the later using corsair gaming RAM , this allows for a more stable overclock plus speed is nicer

I’m not at all technical and have recently purchased a 2GB RAM stick that does match the same kind of RAM that’s in this netbook… but after reading some posts, it sounds like I can only upgrade with an additional 1GB stick, yes?

Here’s the RAM that I purchased…

Just a note: I contacted MSI Support and they confirmed that it will not void the warranty. I also had them send me an email stating that it would not for posterity.

In case anyone is still nervous, here’s proof that the warranty remains intact:

Just bought the Wind and 1gb Memory card to the upgrade. Mine has a sliver sticker that says breaking this seal voids the warranty. So, your recent posts that the Warranty will not be void is great to hear. I have to say, so far this machine is GREAT. My boss with his $1200 HP and my colleagues are drooling and all for about $425, with the 6 cell.

I saw a post that someone found a 9 cell. Let us know where, please!

I got the same answer that Jmage got about upgrading memory. You CAN upgrade memory and hard drive. If you need warranty service later and the mainboard or other components looks tampered with outside a RAM/HDD upgrade, then the warranty is void.
