As Ed McMahon would say, you are correct, sir.

"There are plenty of other natty tricks in Poulsbo – if you’re keen for more details, check out the deep dive at AnandTech.
But there’s a significant drawback to Poulsbo, and it’s one that will certainly cruel [typo: cripple] the Inspiron Mini 12’s appeal to many ‘power users’. The chipset supports a maximum 1GB of RAM.
This is all that Intel considers that first-gen MIDs would need. But MIDs would never be expected to carry the same load as a netbook – you wouldn’t run desktop-grade software like Windows or Office on them, for instance.
As a result, while the Inspiron Mini 12 packs 1GB of memory out of the box, that’s as far as you can take things. The RAM chip is in fact mounted directly on the main board (which also helps keep the system trim – it’s the same approach taken by Apple for the MacBook Air). Even if you conducted open chassis surgery to remove the 1GB chip and implant a 2GB wafer, the Inspiron Mini 12 still won‘t see more than the first gigabyte."

Why not just settle for a DV2?
