ive had this little netbook a few days now and its pretty sweet for my needs which are HD flash and web/torrents when i get it overclocked a little.im trying to tell myself its stupid to upgrade this as the price was the only reason i got one.i got it delivered for £256(free palm m500 as well)and would at most want the total cost not to exceed £300 otherwise i might as well get a proper laptop.the price might fall a little if i can shift the palm for £10 then it would be only £246!! drool ye fellow bargain hunters 
so having a £50 budget ive had a poke around and the only options are RAM and HDD which dont fall into a £50 upgrade, the ram i want 1x2GB DDR3 1333MHZ is going for around £50 new, surely it cant be that expensive? or are the prices on ram still crazy high? i was kind of hoping i could get a 2GB stick new for £30 MAX i dont want to overclock that far 2.00GHZ.
and what about the crappy sata 160gb 5400RPM stock HDD? anyone got any ideas how much its worth on ebay? its not been used yet it just needs taken out formatted and sold, could i get £20 for it?
if i managed to get £20, assuming i can take it out OK thats taking my budget to £70, thats WD 320GB 7200RPM scorpio black territory as i have saw one for £44 delivered and if i somehow managed a miracle getting a 2GB ram stick for £30 new £74 total meaning i have really only spent £54 which id be chuffed about!
sorry its a bit long but i need some opinions from fellow owners and those who know what prices are like for memory and what they will continue to be like.i know its maybe slightly little too ambitious for £70 total but heh thats what bargain hunting is all about!
