I suspect the chipset will support it, but I wonder if the RAM is user-installable (how aggressive did they have to get to save space/cost)?

The Atom processor is nice, I have an Intel MB with one on it and it is very usable, moreso than the ultra low power Celerons most smaller laptops use (IMHO, YMMV)...
