Acer Aspire Netbook

Hi, i was wondering is it easy for a novice like myself to put more memory ( i presume ) in my netbook ? I ve got a 1GB that i bought from Crucial which will double up what i have already. When bought the os was changed to windows xp and i find it very slow eg i player keeps stopping and starting, always a problem with skype and generally annoying time using this netbook. It looks like i ll need to take the whole back off it not just the small compartment that i would have presumed was the obvious place to open up. If this fails i ll buy a new small laptop but dont know which is a good deal right now. Thank you

Do a search on Google for your actual model number, you forgot to say !,there seems to be a lot of information about changing the memory according to which model you have. Old versions seems you have to take the back off, newer ones have a panel.
