"Ah, help finding laptop RAM please"

I was trying to take apart my laptop to see if there was any fluff clogging it up, when I opened the first panel and what should I find...the RAM! This suggests to me that it's replacable, so I've been searching high and low, but can't find it anywhere.

The laptop is: Medion Notebook MD40641, Model No FID2060
Current RAM is: TwinMOS PC2700(CL2.5) 22B07, if that means anything to anyone. I'm trawling google as we speak, cyber journeyman.

If anyone can help, that would be awesome to the max.

If it's a block about the size of an Ipod it's the hard drive.

Any PC2700 SODIMM module should do the job, just pick the memory size you want to go for and, er, go for it.

That's where i got my RAM from, it's really came down in price.

I can't see why they aren’t compatible, I think most modern laptop memory is 200pin. As long as the modules physically fit in, they should be all right. If I remember correctly they are slotted in at an angle aren’t they?

Hmmm..I should really take this laptop apart.

Don't think so, they're tucked away. This had a dedicated access panel though, which quite excited me. There's another component hidden away behind another panel, but I'm not sure what it is.

I think you can on some Alienwares but the answer is 99.9% likely to be "no".

Can you upgrade graphics cards on laptops?

Not really. Mine are 2 x 256 boards, so I expect they would have to cram twice as many chips onto it to double the memory.

Also, how would you tell if that was compatible or not?

look anything like this?
