    I definitely agree with EBE and say go with the 1000HA. If you want a true 9" model, then that's a different story. Upgrading RAM in the new EEE's is not difficult and requires breaking no warranty stickers. Installing Vista may pose some driver issues, etc. Take a look at eeeusers.com for more information concerning this. I know that they will run Vista and can be tweaked to work at nearly 100%. If I may ask, what is the need for Vista?
