The MSI Wind netbook supports more memory than it includes. The MSI Wind's motherboard contains an extra RAM slot, allowing you to upgrade its memory by inserting another stick of RAM into the empty slot. The MSI Wind supports up to 2 GB of memory and includes up to o1 GB, depending on the version, so purchase a 1 GB stick of RAM. Unscrew the bottom of the MSI Wind's case, and insert a new stick of RAM like you would on any other computer--unfortunately, taking your MSI Wind apart voids its warranty.

5. Unscrew and remove the nine screws on the bottom of the MSI Wind using a mini Phillips-head screwdriver.
6. Remove the MSI Wind's bottom case by pulling at the corners. Don't pull too hard; verify all nine screws are removed if the case isn't easily separated from the laptop.
7. Insert the RAM stick into the MSI Wind's memory slot. Pick up the RAM and turn it so that the teeth face the motherboard and the notch is closest to the hard drive. Insert the RAM into the memory slot under the black tape between the hard drive and fan at a 45-degree angle. The RAM snaps into place without much force; realign the RAM if it isn't going in easily, don't push too hard.
