I only saw 1 slot to install 1GB upgrade. I read it was upgradeable to 2GB using 2 slots. What did I miss?

You can click on any photo to enlarge it.
Step 3 photo shows the Memory Compartment.
Two ram memory (SO-DIMM) can be used. There are two ram memory slots.
1GB however, IS the largest amount for EACH slot.

okay guy i actually have the solution i had the same porbelm but now i have 2 gb or ram and my satellite rock now okay first the ram you bought is wrong and not compatible what you need is kingston ram with the same specs trust me i bought the centon stuff and call everywhere trying to get this to work i had toshiba sell me some kingston and rolled my eyes as i put it in but i powered it on and bam worked like a dream so if you want the 2gb you have to fork over the 29.99 each and you will be much happier
SOURCE: Cant install two emory modules as can only find one slot!
I hope you have not gave up on your problem. Your Notebook is equipped with two memory module slots. One slot is user accessible ( under the notebook) , the other slot sits beneath the keyboard under a EMI shield (Electromagnetic interference Shield). All it requires is the removal of the panel where the power button is at and two screws that hold in the keyboard. If you are uncertain of performing this task, any local Certified computer shop can perform this in 5 minutes.
if you think you can tackle this task it is not hard and i have detailed photo's if you need them.
SOURCE: I upgraded the memory from 1Gb to 2 Gb but my laptop's still slow
look system performance like gettin slow depends on the condition of hard disk actually after 3 years of use and sometimes new hard drive also gets damaged and slow down bcoz of jerks and
bumps during transportation it degrades there performance so always
carry ur notebook in a good carry case ,hard disk gets weak and its strength goes down it becomes slow in loading OS giving data to programs hence slow down the performance of the whole system
sytem doesnt depend much on ram it depends on condition of hard drive as well, if u would have asked me my answer is replace hard disk instead of RAM from 1gb to 2 gb offcourse more is better but in this case hard disk will help u
if u want to check the status and age of ur hard drive go to www.binarysense.com and download hddlife for notebooks from there a trial version will also show u the health of ur hard drive
so my friend if u need a new boost in sys performance u need to replace hard disk with a new 250 GB atleast 5400 RPM but for best u can go for 160/250 GB 7200 RPM and HITACHI is the best brand among all manufacturers as i have tested and experts also prefer that, ur notebook might carry 120 or 160 Gb 4200 RPM as far as i know
pls rate me FIXYA if i have fixed ur problem

If those are the correct specs for your computer, you can indeed install two 1 Gb sticks in it. The overheating may be caused by a ventilation issue on the laptop. There is an access door on the bottom of the laptop that is held in place with a Phillips head screw, you can remove the panel and see if there are two sticks installed. .

I found the other slot at the edge of the the opening, after I inserted the stick, it snaps down over the first stick. Thanks for your input guys. Good to know I can't put one 2gb stick in.
