Does anyone know what kind of RAM the Medion Akoya EX supports?

Check Crucial.

http://www.crucial.com/store/ListModel.Asp?mfr=Medion&cat=RAM lists the maker, but maybe it's model is something else?

In closing, this is where you should pummel the Medion seller for information. Why do people put up with this?

Found It

I decided to open up the system and check the existing ram to see if it has any labels on it. It did and based on that I found out it uses DDR 333 PC2700. I replaced them with a pair of 512mb ram sticks from newegg.com. The only thing I'm noticing is that it's generating a lot more heat than it used to.

Yup. RAM draws power too.

In desktops, I use 20 Watts per stick in my list.
