So i just got this new present from some relative i have never met, for christmas, the ASUS Eee PC (4G, i believe??) white
so the specs are
intel celeron processor 900mhz (i know its old)
512mb ram
4GB SSD
so my question is can i upgrade the 4GB SSD into maybe a 16GB SSD or can i upgrade it into a normal HDD and get a 80/100GB 5400RPM HDD?
im just wondering cuz i installed xp sp3 and it takes up 2.68GB, and out of the 4GB i can only use about 3.54, so that leaves me with 0.86GB. out of that, 0.36 is taken up by the programs file and i only have firefox, avast a/v and windows media player (all these didnt come with the comp). so in reality i have 1/2GB for music/videos/other programs (word, msn messenger etc)
i seriously want more space and dont suggest a SD card cuz i have a 8GB SD card but i want a bigger hdd if i can?
p.s. if anyone has the the eee pc (im assuming the chassis is the same?), can anyone tell me what the space above the ram slot is for?
i was guessing it is for a new hdd/ssd?

the space above the RAM slot has 2 USB ports which aren't wired up in it *picture* that or a pcie slot for another HDD

so i looked at mine and it had no two usb ports???
but when u look at my pic it has some metal conductors on the right side?
and i dont want to think about getting the usb ports and wiring it onto the motherboard -
if you look at it from the right side with the RAM at the bottom, you should see an extension slot
or not hmph.... mine hasnt but this has

k im not going to mod it that far as to taking out the whole mb and wiring freakin usb ports!
but i looked at his and his looks the same except for the connectors on the left side??? i dont think i have this..
but im wondering, is this the only option, just getting a big sd card and shoving everything onto that??
